What is blepharoplasty and what is it for<\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Often the eyelid area is the first to change as the face begins to age<\/strong>: the eyes can take on a less youthful, sagging, and lax appearance. In addition to making the gaze look tired, marked, less lively, and less expressive, in more pronounced cases it can even make it difficult to fully open the eye, reducing vision.<\/p>\r\n

Sometimes, especially with a family history of eyelid bags, this problem may already be present at a young age<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

The procedure used to correct eyelid defects is blepharoplasty<\/strong>, an operation that removes excess skin and excess fat\u2014the so-called \u201ceyelid bags\u201d.<\/p>\r\n

Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids and must be planned and customized according to each person\u2019s specific needs. Most of the time, blepharoplasty is performed on all four eyelids at once<\/strong>. The goal is always the same: to remove age-related changes without altering the natural expression of the eyes.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

Blepharoplasty surgery: how it takes place<\/h2>\r\n

Blepharoplasty is performed using appropriate instruments<\/strong>. Among these, a specific laser can be used to remove excess skin and fat. The laser promotes coagulation, helping reduce post-operative swelling and the risk of bruising<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Because incisions are hidden within natural folds and the eyelids tend to heal well, scars are usually barely visible after a short time in the vast majority of cases<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Upper blepharoplasty<\/h3>\r\n

An incision is made in the upper eyelid crease, after which the excess skin and fat are removed<\/strong>. This restores a very natural look without altering expression.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Lower blepharoplasty<\/h3>\r\n

The incision is made on the lower eyelid, just below the lash line<\/strong>. Excess fat and skin are removed here as well.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n

What kind of anesthesia is expected for blepharoplasty<\/h3>\r\n

Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with a few hours of observation<\/strong>. Depending on patient preference, it can also be performed under general anesthesia in a day-hospital setting.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Post-operative: what happens after blepharoplasty<\/h3>\r\n

Recovery after blepharoplasty is typically quick: swelling subsides within a few days and scars become almost invisible<\/strong>. The rejuvenating effect often provides great satisfaction.<\/p>\r\n

Complications due to abnormal scarring\u2014such as lagophthalmos (incomplete eye closure) and ectropion (excessive lower eyelid laxity)\u2014are very rare in expert hands and, in any case, treatable.<\/p>\r\n

Stitches are usually removed after 5 days.<\/p>\r\n

Post-operative convalescence is fast: you can usually return to normal activities after about 7\u201314 days<\/strong>, especially if you use opaque sunglasses or make-up.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n
