Eyelid Surgery

You probably can go for eyelid surgery if you have a droopy or baggy or saggy eyelid due to the lack of elasticity and aging. Excess skin can also cause wrinkles.

Eyelid surgery can modify your upper and lower eyelids by eliminating excess skin, muscles, and fat. It might improve your eye vision due to the elimination of excess tissue from your eyelids and also rejuvenate aging eyes.

If you are adult women or man who genuinely want to modify your upper and lower eyelids and want a positive outlook. Also if you have good health and not have serious eye problems and also not a smoker then you can go for the surgery soon.

If you have any medical condition which leads to the surgical risks you must have to know your doctor before the surgery.

What happens during eyelid surgery?

Step 1 Anaesthesia

A doctor will give you a local anaesthetic drug before the surgical procedure to numb your surrounding part Or the general anaesthetic drug to make you unconscious If needed.

Step 2 The incision

The incision lines are made on upper or lower eyelids or both the eyelids for concealed the scars, and they are unnoticeable with the naked eyes after they healed. They made on the crease of upper eyelids and just below the lower eyelashes.

The surgeon will make markings to designate where to remove excess skin, fat, and muscles. These will be removed by surgical instruments. During the surgery, the surgeon is aware of how much skin, fat, and muscles need to remove based on the preoperative evaluation.

Step 3 Closing the incisions

To close an eyelid incision doctor may use absorbable suture, skin adhesives and surgical tapes also use the chemical peel to remove the discoloration.

You have to take care of your eyes properly after the treatment. You will moderately get the result as the swelling and bruising start to reduce.

Step 4 See the results

• Temporary blurred vision or double vision.

Be sure to ask questions: It’s very important to ask your plastic surgeon questions about your eyelid procedure. It’s natural to feel some anxiety, whether it’s excitement for your anticipated new look or a bit of preoperative stress. Don’t be shy about discussing these feelings with your plastic surgeon.

The doctor will prescribe you medicine, ointment to lubricate and cold compress. You have to apply or take medication for better healing and to get away from the infections as per prescription. You must have to protect your eyes from sun rays.

You will get results in several weeks but the incision line will take maybe a year to get perfectly concealed. The surgery will last permanently but you will continue to age naturally.

Cost always depends on the experience of the surgeon and the procedure. It will vary at different geographical locations. The cost includes the surgeon’s fee, anaesthesia charges, hospital stay and operation theatre charges and also the medicine.
