Blepharoplasty - Eyelid Surgery In A Nutshell

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to correct droopy eyelids. Excess skin and fat are removed from the eyelids and around the eye area by the surgeon. Excess skin and wrinkles on the eyelids give you an aged and tired appearance. Drooping eyelids can also impair vision. With age, the skin of your eyelids droops and wrinkles. Additionally, some individuals lose fat and their eyes appear sunken and hollow. Eyelid surgery will rejuvenate your appearance and make you appear younger and more vibrant.

Procedure and steps for blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty in Mumbai is typically performed as an outpatient procedure at our clinic. If we plan multiple procedures, they can be done together in a hospital under general anaesthesia. However, it is frequently possible to perform it under local anaesthesia. Your eyelids' excess skin and fat bags are marked. With a small injection of local anaesthetic, I will numb the area. Skin is excised and fat bags are trimmed. The procedure is then finished off with a few dissolvable stitches. You can expect to be comfortable and pain-free all through.

Recovery and outcomes of blepharoplasty

At our clinic, eyelid surgery is performed safely as an outpatient procedure, which means you can return home immediately following the procedure. We may keep you under observation for a few hours following multiple procedures at the hospital. You will be prescribed some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial medications to expedite the healing process and prevent infection. No dressings will be required, and you will be able to see comfortably with both eyes open. There may be some swelling around the eyes, which subsides with ice application over a few days. You can quickly resume your normal daily activities.

Risks and concerns associated with eyelid surgery

Many people fear that eyelid surgery will impair their vision or eyes in some way. This is not the case. Blepharoplasty is a very safe procedure with few and infrequent risks such as swelling, bleeding, scarring, or numbness.
