Blepharoplasty Eyelid Cosmetic Surgery, is a procedure that removes fat, excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. The surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags under the eyes that make you appear old and tired.  It also sometimes interferes with your vision. Blepharoplasty Eyelid Lift surgery removes excess skin or fat from the eyelids leading to the effect of making you look more rested, refreshed and alert. The results of aesthetic eyelid surgery are usually long-lasting. Removal of fat from your eyelids, which is usually the cause of puffiness and bags, is permanent, and these conditions generally will not recur.

 At the same time there is weakening of the muscle beneath the skin, allowing the fat to slip forward. This fat which cushions the eyes in their sockets, tends to protrude forward to give the appearance of bagginess. Furthermore,  loss of the fat surrounding the eyeball makes it appear sunken.

An integral part of modern Blepharoplasty Eyelid Lift surgery is to strengthen these muscles.

The ancient techniques of performing Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery by over-excising skin, muscle and fat only end up in making the eyes look older more rapidly. Prof. Wilson performs only the modern surgeries that correct the problems resulting from aging. He can redrape the fat and correct any muscle weakness. Therefore an upper-eyelid reduction can improve your vision and make you look younger. A lower-eyelid reduction can help to reduce wrinkles and puffiness.

Am I a good candidate for Blepharoplasty Eyelid Lift surgery?

If you are in good physical and mental health with reasonable expectations you should be an appropriate candidate. Most candidates are over 35 years of age but if droopy, baggy eyelids run in your family, you may decide to have the surgery at a younger age. Many patients decide to have the surgery performed at an early age as it is one of the first features of the face to show signs of aging.

Alternatives to Blepharoplasty Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery:

If you have significant sagging of the eyelids, or around the eye area, unfortunately there isn’t a good alternative to having blepharoplasty surgery. 

However in milder cases, when the signs of aging are not as obvious, patients may choose to have non surgical treatments as an alternative.These include:

  • Combination of injectable fillers and resurfacing techniques such as laser or chemical peel.
  •  A brow lift or a non surgical brow lift using Botox injections.

It must be noted that the results will never be as good with the non surgical options that you would get from going ahead and getting eyelid or eyebrow surgery.

A few medical conditions can make this surgery more difficult. They
include thyroid problems, dry eye or lack of sufficient tears, high blood pressure or other circulatory disorders, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Prof. Wilson may decide to refer you to an ophthalmologist before you have surgery.

What should I expect from my consultation?

During your consultation, you will learn about the Blepharoplasty Eyelid Lift surgery, its limitations and risks, and discuss your needs and concerns.  Prof Wilson will carefully examine your eyelids to assess the shape of the lids and asymmetries to determine what type of procedure would best maximize your result. He will examine the tone of the eyelid muscle and might measure the width of the eye aperture. Professor Wilson will make a note of any hollowness below the eyelid (tear trough deformity) and extent of wrinkles in the skin.

Furthermore, you may also schedule an additional consultation to view computer imaging so that you can visualize the results of the eyelid techniques that Prof Wilson has specifically designed for you.

How is the surgery performed?

Anesthesia:

Almost always, Professor Wilson uses local anesthetic with sedation for the blepharoplasty. However, it there are simultaneous surgeries, he might opt for general anesthesia.

Surgical procedure:

In a typical procedure, Dr. Wilson will make incisions following the natural lines of your upper eyelid creases and just below the lashes on the lower lids. Working through these incisions he will separate the skin from the underlying fatty tissue and muscle. He will conservatively remove a minimal amount of excess fat and trim the sagging skin and muscle if needed. Often  a “lateral canthopexy” is performed to tighten the outer part of the eye. This makes the eyes appear youthful and fresh. The incisions are subsequently closed with very fine sutures. Please click here for a short video by Dr Wilson on how he performs a blepharoplasty.

Care after Blepharoplasty Eyelid Cosmetic Surgery:

  • Prof Wilson recommends cold packs and sleeping on 3-4 pillows after the surgery to reduce swelling. Moreover, he advises that you sleep on your back rather than on one of the sides. This prevents the swelling accumulating in one side more than the other.
  • Furthermore, he will prescribe  eyedrops to clean your eyelids after surgery. At night, he prescribes eye lubricants and artificial tears.
  • Prof Wilson also advises to wear sunglasses. This to help protect your eyes from outside elements such as the sun and wind.

Combination of Brow Lift and Blepharoplasty:

During the past decade, Professor Wilson has been increasingly combining a brow lift with upper eyelid blepharoplasty. The brows and eyes constitute a single aesthetic unit, and usually both entities need to be addressed to achieve a pleasing outcome. Through a small cut behind the hairline, Prof Wilson uses an endoscope to raise the eyebrows. He makes the pull at the outer third of the eyebrows, and raises them by a few millimetres to achieve a cosmetic shape. When combined with upper blepharoplasty, this enlarges the eye and adjusts its shape and contour.

 

 

Risks of Eyelid lift (Blepharoplasty):

Fortunately, significant complications from aesthetic eyelid surgery are infrequent. Every year, many thousands of people undergo eyelid surgery successfully, without experiencing any major problem.

It is normal to have changes in your vision after the surgery, and you might need to get new eye-glasses. this might occur due to edema of the cornea or changes in the size of the eyeball.

Some of the potential complications include a feeling of dryness or irritation in the eye that requires treatment. Rarely, there might be impaired eyelid function that  could take a few weeks to resolve. Shortening of the eyelid almost never occurs with the new meticulous techniques employed in modern surgery.
