Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery also known as Blepharoplasty Surgery is the type of surgery that removes excessive skin over the upper eyelids and bagginess from the lower eyelids, thus lifting the eyes.

With age eyelids stretch and the skin above them loosens giving a drooping look.

Besides aging, severely sagging skin around the eyes can reduce side peripheral vision.

This surgery makes eyes look younger and alert.

Why is Eyelid Surgery Done?

This surgery is usually done for cosmetic reasons. It is also an effective way to improve sight in older persons whose sagging upper eyelid gets in their way of vision.

• Baggy or droopy upper eyelids
• Excess skin on lower eyelids
• Bags under the eyes. 

How To Prepare For Eyelid Surgery?

Before the surgery, you would have to go through some physical examinations.

• Complete eye exam: this might include testing tear production and measuring parts of the eyes.
• Visual field testing: to check for any blind spots.
• Eyelid photography: Photos from different angles help with planning the surgery, and documenting whether there's a medical reason for it, which might support an insurance claim.

Apart from these, a thorough medical history would be asked to ensure no during or post-operative complications such as any drug allergies.

How is Eyelid Surgery Performed?

The procedure roughly takes around 2 hours to be completed if both the eyelids are to be treated.

In most cases local anesthesia would work or else the option of I.V. sedation can also be used.

For upper eyelids, the surgeon cuts along the fold of the eyelid. The surgeon removes excessive skin, tissues, and possibly fat from the region and then closes the cut.

For lower eyelids, the surgeon makes a cut just below the lower lash line, and the surgeon removes or redistributes excessive fat, tissue in order to combat sagginess.

What happens after the procedure?

After surgery, you might temporarily have:

• Blurred vision from the lubricating ointments applied to your eyes
• Watery eyes
• Light sensitivity
• Double vision
• Puffy, numb eyes
• Swelling and bruising similar to black eyes.
• Pain and discomfort

What are the Do’s and Don’ts after the procedure?

Do’s:

• Use an ice pack on your eyes for 10 minutes every hour the night after the surgery. The following day, use ice packs 4- 5 times throughout the day.
• Use prescribed eye drops and ointment.
• Sleep with your head raised higher than your chest for a few days.
• Wear dark sunglasses to protect your eyes from harmful sun rays and wind.

Don’t:

• Avoid any strenuous activity- no heavy lifting, swimming, jogging or aerobics.
• Avoid smoking
• Avoid rubbing your eyes
• Wear contact lenses for two weeks

Results:

Many people who have gone through this surgery say they feel more self-confident and feel they look younger and more rested. For some people, surgery results may last a lifetime. For others, droopy eyelids can recur.

Bruising and swelling generally lessen slowly in about 10 to 14 days. Scars from the surgical cuts may take months to fade. Take care to protect your delicate eyelid skin from sun exposure.
