Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid Surgery – Blepharoplasty

Overview

Skin, muscles around our eyes and supportive tissues
are factors that are responsible to prevent sagging of eyelids. As you age, the
skin loses elasticity and the muscles and supportive tissues weaken, resulting
in sagging of upper eyelid and sagging and accompanying under-eye bags in lower
eyelid.

Those structural changes in eyelids cause a tired and
older facial appearance.

Eye-lid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty) is
usually done for cosmetic reasons. This surgery provides successful results
especially in patients with sagging upper eyelids.

When the sagging of the eyelid is severe, it can also
cause visual problems.

Eye-lid surgeries do not help dark discoloration under
eyes and under-eye wrinkles (goose feet). Eye-lid surgeries are usually
combined with or done as a part of other procedures such as laser resurfacing,
filler injections or forehead lift.

If you want to have an eyelid surgery, please consult
our plastic surgeons for techniques, expectations, conditions that
contraindicate eyelid surgery  and potential risks.

Why is eyelid surgery procedure done?

Aging causes loss of elasticity in skin of eyelids and
when it is accompanied by weakening of muscles and supportive tissues, the
gravity force sags the eyelids. Extra skin folds develop in upper and lower
eyelids.

Best candidates for eyelid surgery are persons with
good overall health and realistic expectations. This surgery is more commonly
preferred by middle aged and older persons. However, it can be performed in
younger patients due to medical necessities.

An eyelid surgery may enhance your self-confidence by
improving appearance of your eyes. Although effects on upper eyelids are
usually long lasting, you may notice sagging in the future due to aging.
However, surgery is rarely repeated for lower eyelids.

You should discuss aim of the eyelid surgery with our
plastic surgeon in order to get most realistic and satisfactory outcomes.

Risks

Potential complications are very rare for eyelid
surgery. These risks are as follows:

– Bleeding

– Infection

– Dry eye

– Dark discoloration or abnormal scar formation in
skin of eyelids

– Difficulty closing eyes or other abnormalities

– Visual problems

– Anesthesia-related complications

Although all possible measures that modern medicine
allows are taken to prevent occurrence of risks, it is no means possible to
warrant that the risks will be completely eliminated.

Our expert surgery team will employ all practices to
minimize the risk of complications and our plastic surgeons will preoperatively
inform you about risks listed above and all other potential complications and
will address all your concerns.

Preparation

The first phase of preoperative preparation is same in
all Medicana Hospitals.

After you decide to have an eyelid surgery and discuss
with our plastic surgeons, following examinations are performed to decide
whether it is an option for you:

  • Review of health history
  • A detailed physical examination
  • Necessary laboratory tests and radiology studies
  • Assessment by anesthesiologist and other
    laboratory tests and radiology studies to minimize anesthesia-related
    complications

After it is verified that the surgery does not pose
risk, you will be asked to quit smoking, if you are a smoker, and to stop
taking certain medications that increase risk of bleeding. All other prescribed
and over-the-counter medications, herbal products and supplements will also be questioned
and you will be informed to continue or stop taking them.

You will also be instructed to stop eating and
drinking at a particular time before the surgery and you should strictly follow
this instruction in order to undergo the surgery at the scheduled date.

After eyelid surgery, it is recommended that you have
a companion. You will need to limit your work and social activities for a few
days after the surgery. Also, it is absolutely important that you do not rub
your eyes, avoid heavy work and swim, apply cold compression on your eyes and
follow other instructions of your doctor. Some patients experience dry eye
after the surgery. This rarely lasts more than two weeks. You should see your
doctor, if dry eye persists more than two weeks.

Moreover, it is reasonable to plan discharge,
post-discharge accommodation and travel at this phase in order to manage
postoperative period better.

Surgery and early postoperative period

If both upper and lower eyelids are operated on, the
procedure can take about 2 hours. The operation is carried out under local
anesthesia combined with sedation.

Your plastic surgeon usually makes the incisions over
the natural skin folds or creases on your eyelids. After an incision is made,
excess fat, tissue and muscle are removed. Very small stitches are placed on
the incision line to ensure cosmetic results. The stitches placed on the upper
lid will remain for approximately one week. For lower eyelids, stitching may
not be required depending on the technique.

After any of these procedures, your doctor may suggest
laser resurfacing.

You may feel pain and recognize swelling in your
eyelid(s) after the surgery. Or, you may even notice bruising in skin of the
region. These are expected symptoms that will spontaneously disappear within
several weeks.

The scar tissue that forms along the incision line
will fade over time, but its color will never be identical to your skin tone.

Although you will feel minimal pain, your plastic
surgeon will prescribe pain killer pills to manage the pain.

If your plastic surgeon used non-absorbable stitches
and placed a drain to prevent accumulation of excess fluid and/or blood beneath
the incision line, your doctor will instruct you the date they will be removed
(usually the first postoperative follow-up visit).

Your plastic surgeon will inform you whether you need
to be observed or you should stay in hospital.

After you recover from anesthesia and you are ready to
walk, you will be mobilized by or under supervision of our healthcare
professionals.

Before you are discharged, your plastic surgeon or
another healthcare professional will inform you about the time interval that
you should rest and the time that you can start non-strenuous exercises.
Although routine daily life activities are allowed, your doctor will instruct
you to avoid strenuous works for a particular time.

It is substantially important to follow those
instructions to facilitate recovery period and get best outcome from the
surgery. Therefore, please ask all your questions to your plastic surgeon
before you leave the hospital.

You should visit your plastic surgeon for follow-up
visits that are scheduled before you are discharged.

If you experience warmth and redness in your incision
line, or if you have a fever or any symptoms that you think are due to surgery
after you are discharged, contact your plastic surgeon immediately.

Results

In the case of eyelid surgery, your eyes and eye
contour will appear younger and healthier. It is an indisputable fact that
these effects will contribute to your self confidence.

It may take several weeks for the results of the eyelid surgery to be
fully visible. Although effects are long lasting, negative effects of aging
cannot be completely eliminated. It will be useful to talk to your plastic
surgeon on precautions that can be taken to prolong the time of effect.
