Blepharorrhaphy

Blepharorrhaphy is a surgical procedure performed on the eyelids to restore their normal shape and function. It involves suturing the edges of the eyelids after cutting them and removing excess skin. Blepharorrhaphy can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids.

Blepharorrhaphy surgery may be necessary for various diseases and conditions, such as ptosis (drooping eyelid), scars on the eyelids, entropion, chronic blepharitis and others.

Before the operation, it is necessary to examine the patient to determine his state of health and possible contraindications to blepharorrhaphy. After this, the doctor sets a date for the operation and prepares for it.

During the operation, the patient's eyelids are cut at the crease area, then excess skin is removed and sutures are placed so that the edges of the eyelids are tightly connected. After the operation, a bandage is applied to the eyelids and the patient goes home.

After blepharorrhaphy, some complications are possible, such as bleeding, infection, swelling and others. However, if the operation is performed correctly and all precautions are followed, then the risk of complications is minimal.

In general, blepharorrhaphy is an effective way to restore eyelids for various diseases. However, before undergoing surgery, you must consult your doctor and carefully follow his recommendations.

Blepharoplasty: what is it?

Blepharoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgeries in aesthetic medicine, aimed at improving the appearance of the eyelids. A similar procedure can be carried out both for the entire eye (upper and lower), and for each eyelid separately.

Benefits of the procedure -------------------- * Raised upper eyelids create an open look, which improves the appearance of the face and reduces signs of eye fatigue. *The treatment may help reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. * Blepharoplasty helps eliminate dry eyes and improve comfort when wearing contact lenses. * Correction of the brow ridges is also its advantage; not only facial wrinkles are corrected, but also eyebrow asymmetry, which gives the face a healthy and rested look. * The procedure is also carried out for eyelids in which their retraction occurs, which can also cause problems with eye health, and possibly the appearance of asymmetry of the eyes, which become different sizes. * Blepharoplasty is also prescribed for severe forms of the lower eyelids, when they droop more than nature allows.
