A number of changes occur with age in the appearance of the eyelid. Since the eyes are one of the most important elements that make up the expression on the face, some negative situations that occur on the eyelid may make the patient unhappy in terms of appearance. The patient’s droopy eyelid, bagging and wrinkles may cause him/her to look old or tired. In order to improve all these, eyelid aesthetic surgery can be applied to the patient.
Blepharoplasty can also be a remedy for the problem that the sagging eyelid obstructs vision. Because as a result of this sagging, both the eyes and the eyelids of the patient get tired earlier. One of the complaints of the patients is that the sagging of the eyelids prevents them from applying makeup or the makeup is smeared. With this surgery, it may be possible for patients to get rid of their problems both in terms of health and aesthetics.
Usually after the thirties, droopy eyelid, drooping of the eyelid, under-eye bagging and wrinkles may occur. These deformations in the eyelid can be corrected with eyelid aesthetics in line with the wishes of the people and a younger appearance can be achieved. The need for eyelid aesthetics can occur in both men and women.
Bagging in the lower eyelids may also require surgery because it may give a more tired and aged expression. Lower eyelid aesthetic surgery, in young patients or in those who have good skin quality and do not have much wrinkles despite bagging; It can be done by entering through the pink area behind the lower eyelid, which we call the conjunctiva. In this method, called transconjunctival lower eyelid aesthetics, there are no sutures outside the lower eyelid. Muscle tissue is preserved, and thanks to this, the shape of the eye is preserved. In patients with more skin, classical lower eyelid aesthetic surgery is performed and muscle tissue suspension is performed while removing excess skin and it is aimed to give a more attractive appearance (almond eye aesthetics) to the eye shape.
Some patients may be very undecided about having eyelid aesthetics. At this point, it is useful for patients to ask every question that creates question marks in their minds when meeting with the physician. Before eyelid aesthetics, the expectations of the patient and whether these expectations are possible should be revealed very well. Thus, the patient will be able to make the right decision for himself. At the same time, even if the surgery is successful, it is very important that the patient strictly follows the recommendations of the physician in order to eliminate the problems that may occur afterwards.
After the operation, there may be swelling and bruises on the eyelids. It is important to keep the head elevated and cold compresses after surgery. After the operation, a stinging sensation or tearing may also occur in the eye for a certain period of time. When these symptoms occur, the physician may recommend some medication to make the patient feel better. The stitches that need to be removed are removed in 5-7 days.
The expectations of the patient and whether the expectations are realistic or not can only be clearly revealed through bilateral relations. At the same time, the patient’s careful choice of doctor can contribute to his satisfaction after surgery. Trust becomes one of the most important aspects in this regard.
Another point that female patients may wonder about after eyelid aesthetics may be the process of starting to apply makeup. This process can usually be specified as one week, but it is useful for the doctor to determine the most accurate time according to the patient’s condition. After the eyelid surgery is performed, prominences can be observed in the sutures for a while. However, during the recovery period, these images also become increasingly ambiguous. Eventually, the patient may have a more vibrant and younger appearance.
