What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery technique that involves removing excess skin and/or fat from the upper or lower eyelids.
This procedure eliminates puffy eyes and heavy, droopy eyelids that give the face a heavy look.
The benefits of Blepharoplasty are:
- Lift eyelids and eliminate fat bags;
- Bring back vivacity to your look;
- Remove sagging from this area;
- Eliminate the effect of age, tired and sad appearance;
- Do not act on the muscles, only on the skin around the eyes.
By correcting an external aesthetic problem, it improves internal well-being and self-esteem!
Upper Blepharoplasty
- The purpose of Upper Blepharoplasty is to clean this region and remove swelling from the upper eyelid.
- In these cases, there is excess skin and fat concentrated in the upper region of the eyelid.
- The final results cause an effect of lifting of the look.
Lower Blepharoplasty
- Lower blepharoplasty corrects aesthetic imperfections in the area immediately below the eyes.
- The procedure involves removing pockets of fat or skin found on the lower eyelid.
- The surgery is performed without traumatizing the anatomical structures of this region and without visible scars.
Blepharoplasty Treatment
The effects of aging on the eye area begin to be felt more significantly after the age of 40. In both men and women.
Both have something to gain from this aesthetic-surgical procedure.
In some cases, young people with genetic inheritance also benefit from blepharoplasty. Improving physical appearance has a profound impact on the self-esteem of younger people.
Indications
Eyelid surgery is indicated in the following cases:
- Accumulation of fat pockets in the upper and lower eyelids;
- Excess skin and sagging in the upper eyelid;
- People without serious eye problems or conditions;
- Healthy people, without pre-existing conditions that influence the healing process or increase the risk of surgery.
These elements do not constitute absolute contraindications. Each case is unique and must be evaluated by a surgeon.
