YOUR EXPECTATIONS

Blepharoplasty is used to radically erase the effects of aging on the eyes: drooping eyelids first and foremost. Eyelid surgery can also be used to remove unsightly bags under the eyes. Blepharoplasty is an integral part of eye surgery.
This surgical discipline can be applied to both the upper and lower eyelids. It can therefore involve all four eyelids of the patient and be performed at the same time as a facelift, peeling or injection of a filler such as botulinum toxin.
These signs around the eyes are most often due to age, but can also be hereditary if there is a favorable family background. Generally speaking, for the lower eyelids, the skin falls and hollows the gaze then becomes covered with wrinkles. Fatty pockets appear and sometimes go as far as colonizing the cheekbones. The upper eyelids unfortunately undergo the same sagging, sometimes encroaching on the patient's field of vision.
Performing a blepharoplasty aims to eliminate the "fatigue" that emerges from the face and give a younger, more rested, more relaxed appearance. In other words: to cheer yourself up when you see yourself in the mirror...
Eyelid surgery is very beneficial: it removes excess skin and fat in a lasting way, without changing the functions and behavior of the eyelids. We most often see a form of rejuvenation without changing the shape of the eyes.

HOW IS BLEPHAROPLASTY PERFORMED?

Eye correction by blepharoplasty is performed on both women and men and often occurs around the age of forty. However, in the case of "hereditary" necessity, it can be performed much earlier. The operation is not age-related.
Several consultations are necessary before the operation is performed, including precise ophthalmological monitoring in order to look for possible contraindications. Blepharoplasty will not be performed in the presence of certain ophthalmic risk factors such as high blood pressure or poorly controlled diabetes. The same applies if the eye does not have enough tears or in the case of Basedow-type hyperthyroidism, complicated by exophthalmos.
The procedure itself lasts from 30 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes depending on the number of eyelids to be treated and the work to be done. For example, lipofilling may need to be performed elsewhere in the body to be reinjected into certain hollow areas of the eyelid. The anesthesia remains mainly local. It sometimes becomes general when all four eyelids need to be treated at once.

POSTOPERATIVE FOLLOW-UP AND CONTRAINDICATIONS

There is little pain caused by the operation itself, but bruising and pain may last for one to two weeks after the procedure. Cold compresses and eye drops will help alleviate these discomforts.
During this period, care should be taken to always elevate your head when going to bed to avoid promoting edema. A preoperative preventive treatment can also be considered with your surgeon.
Wearing sunglasses is strongly recommended for about two weeks and wearing contact lenses is prohibited. Violent efforts are also prohibited for an entire month and a few days of rest are generally to be expected.
The sutures are removed 5 days after the operation. The scars due to the operation are determined together with the surgeon during the development of the surgical plan. They are most often located under the eyelash of the lower eyelid and in the palpebral fold located on the upper eyelid. The scars should not be exposed to the sun for the first 6 months following the operation.
