Why does the eyelid droop?
Eyelid drooping occurs with age-related relaxation of the muscles and loss of elasticity of the skin. As the skin begins to sag, folds appear in the upper eyelid and dimples in the lower eyelid. In advanced cases, eyelid drooping affects the vision of the person or excess skin may hang over the eyelashes of the person. The reason for eye bags seen in some people is that the muscle under the skin relaxes and the fat pads in the eyeballs are allowed to bulge forward to reveal swelling. This condition can also be seen genetically in some people.
Wrinkles and sagging around the eyes may be more pronounced, especially after stress, intense work and lack of sleep. This is because when the person stands upright, the fluid that is normally distributed throughout the body tends to settle in areas where the skin is loose, such as the eyelids, when the person is lying down.
How is eyelid surgery done?
Blefaroplasti Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is usually completed under local anesthesia. If the patient will have combined surgeries other than eyelid aesthetics, general anesthesia may be more appropriate.
The eyelid consists of skin, muscle, fascia and fat packs. Unlike these, there are inner and middle fat packs and lacrimal glands in the upper eyelid. In the lower eyelid, there are inner, middle and outer fat packs.
The eyelid of the patient is anesthetized with local anesthesia in order to correct the drooping of the upper eyelid and to give the patient a younger eye shape. Excess skin and muscle are cut and removed in a way that is most suitable for the patient’s eye structure. In some cases, if the patient’s fat pads are more than normal, these fats are also removed to give the patient a younger and tighter eyelid. If you want to give your eyes an almond eye shape, you can have them combined with almond eye aesthetics. Eyebrow lifting and face lift surgeries can also be combined with eye aesthetics to give the face a younger and more dynamic appearance.
In order to remove the sagging of the lower eyelid and under-eye bags, an incision is made under local anesthesia, just below the lower eyelashes. By entering through this incision, the fat packs on the lower eyelid are repositioned, and excess fat is removed if needed. If the lower eyelid of the person is very drooping, this also affects the cheek appearance of the patient. For this reason, you can combine lower eyelid aesthetics with mid-face lift surgery.
Will there be any scars after eyelid aesthetics?
