What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty can fix eye or eyelid-related aesthetic issues. Typically, aging leads to a loss of flexibility at the eyelids, and causes wrinkles, swellings and loose or sagging skin around the eyes. In some cases, vision is affected. All of these issues can be solved by undergoing blepharoplasty (upper and lower).

Upper and/or Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

· For Upper Eyelid:
Also known as eyelid lift, it is a procedure that aims to improve heavy-looking eyelids by removing excess fat and/or skin. This procedure can also improve field of vision. During the treatment, incisions will be usually made along the natural crease of eyelid to allow removal of skin and fat deposits. A thin stitch will then be used to bring the skin together.

· For Lower Eyelid:
This treatment is for those with puffiness or eyebags. It involves incision below the lash line that results in a barely visible scar. The procedure is done to remove or reposition fats under the eyes for a more rejuvenated look.

· For Both Upper and Lower Eyelids:
This procedure is suitable for those who have heavy-looking eyelids and eyebags that are caused by genetics, aging or other factors. Incisions will be made to remove excess fat and skin for a more rejuvenated look. In some cases, this procedure can improve the field of vision when the upper eyelids are no longer heavy or sagging. It does not reduce the quality of vision, and it also gives a younger or fresher look to the facial appearance.

Eyelid Revision

Eyelid Revision or Revision Blepharoplasty is done when patients are unhappy with the results of previous eyelid surgery. It can treat various issues such as lower lid retraction, unfavorable scarring, rounding of the corners of the eye, hollowing of the upper of lower eyelids or residual bags and bulges.

The procedure is more complex than the first surgery since it deals with very delicate areas. The treatment can be carried out in several ways depending on the eye condition, which will be examined by the doctor. A consultation is important to determine the issues, complexity of the problem as well as the right approach to conduct a revision surgery.

Sub-brow Upper Blepharoplasty

This procedure is performed by pulling sagging eyebrows upward to tighten the skin on the eyelids. This procedure is much more suitable for those with a large space between the eyebrows and eyes, those who are middle-aged or above, and those with double eyelids.

Pulling the sagging eyebrows upward can give a more 'energetic' look to the face, making overall facial appearance look more youthful.

Ptosis Correction

Ptosis refers to drooping of the upper eyelid. The droop can descend over the pupil, blocking full vision and making the person looks sleepy. Ptosis can affect both children and adults, but it usually occurs because of aging. The condition can also happen due to injury, the problem with the levator muscles (muscles that lift the eyelid), an aftereffect of cataract surgery, or other corrective eye surgery. An eye tumor, neurological disorder, or systemic disease like diabetes are other causes of drooping eyelids. Ptosis correction is a surgery that can help to tighten levator muscles to lift the eyelid, giving you an improved eye appearance and vision.

Treatment Procedure

The general procedure of blepharoplasty procedures will look like this:

1. Overall eye condition will be examined.
2. The incision area will be predicted.
3. Anesthesia will be administered.
4. An opening in the skin of the treated area will be made.
5. Excess fat and/or skin will be removed / Stitches to tighten the small muscle that raises the eyelid will be placed.
6. The incision will be closed with ultra-fine threads.
7. Patients should return after 5 to 7 days after the treatment for the removal of threads.

FAQ

Q1: Can I continue wearing contact lens and glasses after the procedure?
A1: On the day of the surgery, please bring your glasses or sunglasses to avoid irritating the eyes. You can only continue wearing your contact lens after your eyelid has healed, that is when it feels comfortable and can close well. Generally, you can start wearing lenses again about 3 to 4 weeks after surgery.

Q2: Do I have to change my glasses after the treatment?
A2: You may need to change your eyeglass prescription, but please wait until at least 2 months after surgery to get a new prescription to allow your eyes to get comfortable.

Q3: Will there be any side effects?
A3: The surgery can cause eye dryness since the eyes may not close fully during the recovery period. Please use the lubricating ointment provided by the doctor when necessary and follow the doctor's post-care tips to get faster healing.

Q4: Will the swelling after the surgery affect my daily life?
A4: Swelling and internal bleeding may happen for about a week, and then they will gradually subside. Please take plenty of rest during recovery.

Q5: How long will the results last?
A5: The result of this treatment is often long-lasting but may be affected by continuous aging.

Q6: What type of anesthesia will be used?
A6: At our affiliated hospital, local anesthesia will be used for blepharoplasty.
