Eyelid Aesthetic (Blepharoplasty): Spark the Glow of Youth Again

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) is a reconstructive procedure done by plastic surgeons to remove excess skin, and muscle tissue, and tighten the skin surrounding the eye. One of the most evident indicators of ageing in the face, eyelids, in time, might affect the appearance considerably.

What are the Signs of Aging in Eyelids?

Ageing, gravity, and other external agents might cause the skin to lose its elasticity. This situation causes symptoms like baggy eyelids, loose skin, decolorization, and wrinkles. Among symptoms of ageing in the eyelids:

• Bags under the Eye
• Drippy Upper-Eyelid
• Wrinkles and loosening in Eyelids
• Crow’s Foot around the eyes
• A tired facial appearance

When Can I Get a Blepharoplasty?

It is recommended by surgeons for patients older than 35 as aging becomes more visible around those ages. However, if the need arises, it can be accomplished at any age. The operation does not stop ageing completely but is effective for 7-8 years. Following the successful operation, the individual's weary expression can transform into a vibrant and energetic appearance.

What to Consider Before a Blepharoplasty?

Avoid blood thinner substances (aspirin, antibiotics, tobacco) at least 15 days before the operation.

No vitamins or food supplements before the operation for at least 10 days.

Paying attention to these details positively affects the success of the operation and healing process.

How is Upper-Lower Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery Done by imi Doctors?

Upper Eyelid: Blepharoplasty is done by removal of the excess skin and muscle tissue. Incisions are hidden where the eyelid folds. The operation is more effective when combined with a Brow Lift.

Lower Eyelid: The first step of the lower eyelid aesthetic surgery is to restore the location of fat tissue under the eyes. If there is still sagging in the area, the surgeon intervenes with small incisions right under the eyelashes.
