Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct aesthetic problems such as bagging, sagging or excess fat accumulation under the eyes. This procedure is performed to reduce the signs of aging in the under-eye area and to achieve a more youthful and dynamic appearance. Here is more detailed information about lower eyelid blepharoplasty:
How does it happen?
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia. During the procedure, excess skin, sagging muscles and fatty tissue under the eye are removed or reshaped. To minimize the healing process, surgeons usually make incisions along the natural creases under the eye or along the lash line. The incisions are then closed with sutures and the patient begins the healing process.
Advantages:
Smoothing Under Eye Bags: Lower eyelid blepharoplasty reduces bagging or puffiness under the eyes, resulting in a smoother appearance. This provides a younger and more dynamic appearance.
Reducing Under Eye Wrinkles: The procedure reduces fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes, resulting in a fresher and more vibrant appearance.
Visual Comfort: People with bags under the eyes may have limitations or discomfort in the field of vision. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty can reduce or eliminate such discomfort.
Long Term Results: The results of lower eyelid blepharoplasty are usually long-lasting. After the healing process, patients often experience positive results for many years.
Things to Consider:
- As with any surgical procedure, lower eyelid blepharoplasty involves some risks. Complications such as infection, bleeding, prominent scars on the suture line or asymmetrical appearance of the under-eye area are rare but can occur.
- During the healing process, there may be temporary swelling, bruising or discomfort. This usually subsides within a few weeks.
- Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is intended for people who are eligible for significant bags or sagging under the eyes. Other procedures or treatment options are also available for the treatment of finer wrinkles.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is an effective option for those who want to reduce the signs of aging and achieve a more youthful appearance. However, it is important to assess everyone's individual needs and expectations and consult with a specialized plastic surgeon.
