How to do upper eyelid blepharoplasty video

It is in the area around the eyes that the first signs of aging begin to appear. Over time, the dermis loses its firmness and elasticity, the upper eyelid becomes heavier and falls, excess skin forms on it and folds appear, the eyelids become “swollen” and the face has a tired look (“heavy” eyelids).

Upper blepharoplasty allows you to solve these problems and achieve a pronounced cosmetic effect.

Eyelid correction surgery ↑

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a popular surgical procedure to remove excess skin and redistribute fat tissue in the upper eyelid area in order to eliminate age-related changes. The operation is recommended for men and women with sagging dermis of the upper eyelids.

The indication for the procedure may be not only the patient’s age, since excess skin and hernias can be caused by genetics, congenital and acquired eyelid defects.

As a result of blepharoplasty, the skin located above the upper eyelids is straightened and smoothed, its excess is removed, eyebrows are raised, and the forehead is smoothed, the face looks young and healthy.

Recommendations before the procedure ↑

You should start preparing for blepharoplasty a week in advance. It is necessary to stop taking anticoagulants (for example, aspirin), stop smoking and drinking alcohol, and do not take food or water 7 hours before the intervention.

Technique of the operation ↑

First, the patient undergoes a consultation with a doctor, who listens to all wishes, feedback and prescribes an examination.

The upper eyelid blepharoplasty operation lasts from 40 minutes to 1 hour. It begins with marking the excess dermis of the upper eyelid with a special marker.

Such surgical intervention is carried out both under local anesthesia and, if necessary, under general anesthesia. The doctor makes incisions in the eyelid area and removes excess skin and hernias. He then removes excess fat and corrects the ligaments.

Scheme of upper eyelid surgery

The operation is completed by applying cosmetic sutures. In some cases, the orbicularis oculi muscle is fixed if it is weakened. Part of the fibers of the eye muscle is strengthened in the periosteum of the orbit. This stage in the correction of the upper eyelids is called “canthopexy”.

Immediately after the operation, the doctor applies a special sterile dressing to the suture line.

The patient must wear adhesive bandages for 3 days. You cannot remove the patch yourself, as there is a risk of damaging the stitches, which can lead to scarring.

After the procedure ↑

Feedback from patients during the rehabilitation period after upper eyelid blepharoplasty is mainly related to pain, swelling, bleeding, bruises and hematomas.

Recovery takes about 13-15 days. The most general recommendations during rehabilitation after plastic surgery are maintaining a calm and home regimen, rest, a healthy lifestyle and lack of physical activity. You should not drink alcohol, smoke, or eat heavy foods. Watching TV, working on a computer monitor and reading books should be avoided.

For the first two weeks, you should refrain from wearing lenses and glasses; you should not use decorative cosmetics or any other cosmetic products. After blepharoplasty, the patient must do gymnastic exercises for the eyes. They are very easy to perform and tone the eye muscles, which shortens the rehabilitation period.

A lot of reviews from patients after plastic surgery are associated with deterioration of vision, it becomes blurry and foggy. To avoid dry eyes, you can instill special moisturizing drops. Place them in the outer corner of the eye twice a day. The course is 7-9 days, no more.

Results of the operation ↑

The most ideal result can be assessed a month after upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Patients give feedback about the persistent and long-lasting effect, which lasts up to 10 years. This plastic surgery allows you to get rid of fat folds and hernias, correct imperfections in skin tissue and acquire a clear and open look.

Contraindications ↑

However, it is important to consider contraindications, in particular the condition of the area around the eyes. This intervention is not indicated for patients with chronic diseases of the eyelids, conjunctivitis, dry eye syndrome and serious diseases of the visual organs. Also, such plastic surgery cannot be performed if you have:

1. blood diseases;
2. oncological diseases;
3. diabetes mellitus;
4. pregnancy and lactation;
5. cardiovascular diseases;
6. exacerbation of chronic diseases;
7. infectious diseases in the acute stage.

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is not always the only necessary operation. The reason for correction of the upper eyelid may also be a drooping forehead. Therefore, in this case, a forehead lift or a combination of plastic surgery and lift will be effective.

Laser application ↑

Laser blepharoplasty helps achieve results faster and is a more gentle method. The laser stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the dermis is tightened and the effect becomes more pronounced. Laser blepharoplasty can also be performed as a separate procedure, but more often it is prescribed in combination with other procedures. The price for such rejuvenation will be slightly higher than with traditional surgery.

Additional procedures ↑

Upper blepharoplasty is easily combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as endoscopic forehead lift, surgical nose job, eyebrow correction and laser rejuvenation. Blepharoplasty cannot get rid of expression lines around the eyes. Wrinkles are eliminated using injection techniques (Botox, fillers).

Repeated operation ↑

A repeat blepharoplasty procedure is performed in several situations. Usually, this is due to complications after the first operation and correction is necessary. Or, for example, older patients require repeat surgery after 7-9 years, due to the fact that at their age the changes come back more quickly.

Complications ↑

During blepharoplasty surgery, the risks are small, but much depends on the professionalism of the surgeon. In case of errors by unqualified doctors, the following complications are possible:

1. Excessive removal of upper eyelid skin. Over time, the skin itself stretches, but injection techniques are recommended to speed up the process and stretch the dermis.
2. Insufficient removal of upper eyelid skin. In this case, a repeat operation will be necessary.
3. Excessive excision of fatty hernias. Lipofilling of the upper eyelids is necessary.

Prolongation of effect ↑

The most important thing is that the plastic surgery procedure is carried out by a proven specialist. In some cases, repeated surgery is possible immediately after rehabilitation if the doctor did not have enough experience or qualifications.

When blepharoplasty is performed at a high level, the patient’s task is to prolong the result as long as possible. Such cosmetic programs as lymphatic drainage massage, peelings, moisturizing complexes and injection techniques will help to prolong the effect of plastic surgery.

Cost of the operation ↑

The price for the blepharoplasty procedure is determined individually and depends on the patient’s age, the degree of intervention, the techniques and equipment used (laser), the complexity of the operation and the qualifications of the surgeon. On average, such plastic surgery will cost between 20,000 and 50,000 rubles. Removal of excess skin of the first degree will cost about 30,000 rubles, and if we are already talking about the third degree, it will be 45,000 rubles. Changes in eye shape of the third degree reaches 60,000 rubles.

Approximate prices for all types of upper blepharoplasty:

The demand for upper eyelid blepharoplasty is quite high. This type of plastic surgery ranks third among aesthetic surgeries after breast augmentation and liposuction. Most reviews after upper eyelid blepharoplasty are positive. Patients recover quickly, they are satisfied with the effect and forget the fear they suffered during the operation and the pain during the rehabilitation period. However, positive feedback from plastic surgery could only be observed with full compliance with the recommendations from experienced and professional surgeons.

People always want to remain beautiful and young enough for a long time. For this purpose, many are sent to plastic surgery clinics. Surgeons, with appropriate training, extensive experience and innovative techniques, help clients change their appearance without causing harm or complications. For example, the blepharoplasty video shows well how congenital defects were eliminated and age-related changes were corrected.

Today, a common type of plastic surgery is plastic surgery of the lower and upper eyelids. It successfully removes excess skin, sagging skin, fat bags and other aesthetic defects. The video demonstrates very clearly how blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids brought back youth. The video content shows patients' clear and open views.

In addition to classic eyelid surgery, surgeons often have to perform blepharoplasty associated with changes in the shape or shape of the eyes. This is demonstrated by the ethnic blepharoplasty video.

Young women and men can get rid of bags under the eyes with transconjunctival correction, which can be performed without incisions. Therefore, no traces of surgical intervention remain. If you watch the results of the lower eyelid blepharoplasty operation on video, you can immediately notice this. Mature patients are usually offered traditional surgical eyelid surgery.

The operation is determined by excess skin, its general condition, the presence of fatty hernias, swelling, bruising and other factors. Blepharoplasty is often done at the same time as other anti-aging procedures. As a result, the appearance is wonderfully rejuvenated; the blepharoplasty video really confirms this.

The operation begins with preparation, examination of the entire body as a whole, the general condition is determined, and tests are taken. The duration of the operations depends on the complexity and lasts from 1 to 2 hours. The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia. During the process, small incisions are made: along the edge of the eyelashes on the lower eyelids, in the natural folds of the upper eyelids.

The video of the operation clearly demonstrates how blepharoplasty works and what results it gives. After watching the video, you can analyze the work of the surgeons, note all the positive aspects and possible nuances. The rehabilitation period is quite easy. For a speedy recovery, additional cosmetic procedures are sometimes prescribed to eliminate swelling and bruising.
