Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)

The interlocutor's gaze first focuses on the eyes and the middle facial zone. Age-related changes in this area are especially noticeable, and even young people must consider how to deal with them. The overhanging eyelid makes the look heavy and tired, and the face acquires a sullen, frowning expression. Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) eliminates fine wrinkles, excess skin, and fatty tissue around the eyes. It makes the eyes more expressive and restores youth and freshness to the look. The volume of correction of the upper eyelid is determined at the consultation. The plastic surgeon talks about how the operation is going and what manipulations will occur. Before the procedure, a marking is applied to the eyelid. The doctor introduces anesthesia, then makes an incision in the natural fold of the upper eyelid and gently removes excess skin. Next, damaged capillaries are cauterized with an electrocoagulant to avoid bleeding and subsequent hematoma formation. After that, the fat hernias are removed, or the adipose tissue is redistributed. Finally, a muscle lift is performed. At the end of the manipulations, the surgeon applies special cosmetic stitches and hides them in the natural fold. After the operation, the patient stays in the hospital under the supervision of a doctor. The stitches are removed on the 5th day.
