According to the eye and
cosmetic surgeon Dr. James DanielCarpenter, a Blepharoplasty or "eye lift" is one of the easiest,
safest, and most effective procedures to consider for cosmetic surgery. While
talking with someone, you generally look at their eyes—not their mouth, nose,
or other areas often targeted for cosmetic surgery. In case your upper eyelids
look saggy, that can make you look old, tired, and not engaging. Therefore,
getting surgery of that redundant skin on the upper lids can make a big
difference. Indeed.
Here everything you must know about the procedure about getting an eye lift surgery.
There are actually several types of eye lifts
The term "eyelift," mainly refers to a surgery of the upper eyelid. The surgery
involves removing excess skin, and maybe a little fat or muscle as well.
The other, less-common
type of eye lift involves the lower lid or the area below your eye. Even with
this surgery, the big bags under your eyes can be easily removed. By going
inside between the eyeball and eyelid and eye and manipulating or moving fat.
And the doctors just take out every bit of that fat. However then people—when
got older—would have a dull look below their eyes. So according to experts, now
it's more about redistributing that fat.
All of these are outpatient procedures
For an upper eyelid lift,
the surgery basically involves local anesthetic either with or without some
local sedation, however, never with general anesthesia.
Your surgeon will mark the
portion of your eyelid he intends to remove. And then, using surgical cutting
devices, he'll trim away that skin and close the opening with stitches. In case
you're having under-eye bags removed, there may not even involve a visible cut.
However, if the surgery is performed on your lower lids, that procedure is more
complex and requires sedation.
All this process may also
include lasering lids to improve the quality of the scar, and to remove signs
of aging and sun damage, James Daniel Carpenter says. For under-eye bags, your
surgeon may also vaccinate fillers to smooth the areas.
Normally recovery is quick
For an upper eyelid lift,
the swelling and mark tend to be minimal. Most people could drive themselves
home after the surgery, though experts never recommend that.
Some people experience
more bruising and swelling than others, however, that typically decreases after
a couple days. "The stitches come out after 3 to 5 days, and by day 6th
you can apply makeup and it will look natural as always."
During the first 24 hours,
you'll need to ice your eyes frequently to keep the swelling down. A doctor may
recommend you to apply topical lubricants or drops for the next few days or ask
you to take antibiotics in order to prevent infection. And you have to follow
these instructions.
Final Words
So, according to expert
surgeon James Daniel Carpenter,
these are the few things that you must know about getting cosmetic an eye lift
surgery.
