The purpose of Blepharoplasty or Eyelid lift surgery
Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eyelids to give a more natural youthful appearance by removing excess skin, fat bulges and repairing weak muscles around the eyelid area. Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelid to remove excess skin and fat, or lower eyelid to remove bags under the eyes. The eyes are often the first thing others notice to them. If the eyelids are drooping, wrinkled and the eyes look tired, it can make people look older than they really are.
Blepharoplasty (also called eyelid surgery) is a popular procedure that can help rejuvenate the skin around the eyes and rid your face of a tired look. Dr. Mohsen Fadaei, a plastic surgeon in Tehran, solves this problem by using minimally invasive blepharoplasty methods. This surgical procedure creates a bright-eyed look on the face.
As we age, the skin on your upper and lower eyelids loosens, resulting in puffy eyes. In addition, the quality and texture of the skin can change and wrinkles can form. This is especially true due to sun damage. With the help of upper or lower eyelid blepharoplasty surgery, you can eliminate drooping eyelids and tired eyes and restore vitality and freshness to your face.
Blepharoplasty allows treating problems, including:
- Fine wrinkles and excess skin around the lower eyelids
- Excess fat deposits in the eyelids
- Bags that form under the eyes
- Drooping lower eyelids
- Loose or sagging skin that can impair an individual’s vision
Several types of eyelid surgery are available, including:
Upper eyelid surgery
If the skin on your upper eyelid is sagging or puffy, you can do upper eyelid surgery. The upper eyelid lift will have a fine line incision placed in the normal crease of the eyelid that you currently possess, where it is practically invisible. After removing any excess lax skin, the underlying fat is re-sculpted, trimmed and repositioned carefully, as needed. The upper eyelid lift has a subtle row cut in the natural crease of the eyelid that you currently have, where it is virtually invisible.
Lower eyelid surgery
Dr. Fadaei generally performs lower eyelid surgery by making an incision along the inside of the eyelid. This is a much more advanced method. An incision placed within the lower lid achieves a natural contour, as opposed to older, more aggressive techniques. Occasionally, Dr. Fadaei removes the skin of the lower eyelid by removing excess skin, which heals essentially unnoticeably within the lash line. Dr. Fadaei may also recommend treatments such as laser or chemical peels to treat wrinkles around the eyes for optimal results. Dr. Fadaei, a specialist in plastic surgery in Tehran, uses his maximum skill and accuracy to provide the best results from eyelid lift surgery.
At What Age Should You Get a Blepharoplasty?
Eyelid surgery is usually undertaken after the late 30s or older when the signs of ageing have manifested. However, it really is a matter of preference, as there is no age requirement for blepharoplasty.
If there is a real underlying problem, the surgery can be performed in the early 20s. Many patients with constitutional lower lid bags or puffy upper lid will have surgery at this age.
Eyelid surgery can be performed for strictly cosmetic reasons, as well as to improve one’s vision, by lifting droopy eyelids out of the patient’s range of view. Eyelid surgery may be paired with any coordinating procedures, such as a brow lift, facelift or even Botox to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles or dark circles under the eyes.
