WHEN SHOULD I GET AN EYELID PLASTIC SURGERY?
The signs of ageing appear the earliest around the eyes. As time passes, skin of the eyelid sag and develops folds accompanied with the appearance of bags appear under the eyes, possibly making the face look tired and sad with an expressionless look.
Via the excision of the superfluous, wrinkled skin around the eyes the face can be turned into blooming again, by the changes like:
a more straight, renewed look,
wrinkle-free surroundings around the eyes,
a more youthful appearance.
Saggy skin of the upper eyelid interferes with vision in many cases. These issues can be solved by a fairly simple plastic surgery procedure, generally
performable painlessly under local anaesthesia.
Eyelid plastic surgery is often applied as additional procedure of facial surgery, as a refreshed, renewed face harmonise with a youngish look. Due to the plastic surgery procedure the regions around the eyes, their look, along with the face as a whole regain their youthfulness, and beam again.
HOW IS EYELID PLASTIC SURGERY DONE?
Prior to the procedure, general and local examinations have to be done to value the risks of the treatment. When correcting the upper eyelid, a local anaesthetic in injected straight under the skin of the eyelid. It gets smooth, making the removal of the superfluous skin and fat tissue possible, along the incision lines running out from the inner eye corners. The surgical area is closed with a delicate medical thread.
Length of the upper eyelid correction is 1 hour. Compulsory clinical stay is a couple of hours, for observing the patient.
