Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to correct changes that occur over time in the eyelids. These changes, including sagging skin, under-eye bags and a general dull appearance, can affect both the appearance and function of the eyelids.
TYPES OF BLEPHAROPLASTIES AVAILABLE
- upper blepharoplasty: aims to remove excess skin that accumulates on the upper eyelid, often causing a tired or heavy appearance;
- lower blepharoplasty: ideal for correcting bags (localized fat) under the eyes;
- Hamra: with repositioning of periorbital adipose tissue, to essentially correct “dark circles” by permanently filling the volumetric defect and giving a more vital, fresh and rested appearance in the context of eye surgery;
- Transconjunctival blepharoplasty: an innovative technique that allows surgery on the lower eyelids without visible scars, thanks to an internal incision.
Each technique is personalized to the patient’s needs, with careful assessment of tissue elasticity to ensure the best results.
HOW IS BLEPHAROPLASTY SURGERY PERFORMED WITH DR. RODDI?
Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia, with or without sedation, depending on the patient’s comfort and preferences. Techniques vary depending on the type of procedure:
- Transconjunctival blepharoplasty: the incision is made internally, eliminating external scars. It is indicated in the absence of significant excess skin.
- Transcutaneous blepharoplasty: in this case, the incision is made in the eyelid crease for the upper eyelids or just below the eyelashes for the lower eyelids. After healing, the scars are practically invisible.
The suture is performed with absorbable or non-absorbable threads, which are removed after about a week.
POST-OPERATION: WHAT TO EXPECT
After blepharoplasty, it is normal to experience slight swelling (edema) and, in some cases, small bruises. These effects disappear spontaneously within a few days. During the first week, the patient must carefully follow the specialist’s instructions to promote optimal healing. The results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting and improve the appearance of the eyes, giving them a fresher and more rested appearance. However, it is important to remember that skin aging processes are inevitable and can, over time, cause the skin to sag again (especially in the upper eyelids).
BLEPHAROPLASTY AND COMPLEMENTARY TECHNIQUES
It should be noted that blepharoplasty is not suitable for the correction of other imperfections such as crow’s feet, for which Dr. Roddi may recommend complementary treatments such as Botox or fractional laser. These approaches can be combined with blepharoplasty to achieve more complete and harmonious results.
