What is Eyelid Aesthetics? How is it done?

With age, skin sagging naturally occurs due to the effect of gravity. It shows results such as sagging eyelids, discoloration, and wrinkles. Other factors, such as exposure to sunlight, air pollution, irregular sleep, excessive smoking and alcohol use, also accelerate the aging process of the skin.
Blepharoplasty is a group of surgical procedures that a plastic surgeon performs on the upper and lower eyelids, to remove sagging skin and excess muscle tissue, as well as tighten the tissue around the eyes.

How is Eyelid Aesthetics Performed?

In short, upper blepharoplasty is a procedure in which excess skin and muscle tissue in the eye area is removed. An incision is made from the fold line of the eyelid so that no scar appears after the operation. To get a better result in upper eyelid surgery, it is recommended to perform it with forehead and eyebrow lift operations.

Who Should Have Eyelid Aesthetics?

  • Not suitable for those who suffer from diseases such as diabetes and thyroid disease.
  • Blepharoplasty is not appropriate for people who suffer from dry eye syndrome or who suffer from serious eye diseases such as intraocular pressure and retinal detachment.
  • Anyone 35 years of age or older can have eyelid surgeries.
  • In cases where eyelid augmentation has a negative effect on a person’s vision and visual distance, the age of surgery may drop below 35 years.

Things to Consider Before the Eyelid

As any surgery, there are some points that must be taken into consideration before blepharoplasty, including:

  • You must stop using medicines such as aspirin at least 15 days before the operation to prevent bleeding.
  • Refrain from smoking and other tobacco products for at least 2-3 weeks, to speed up recovery.
