Blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids - a return to the eyes of youth

Time is a very artful thing. It is this that causes with horror to realize that sooner or later the body begins to age. And first of all it touches the skin of the face: in the corners of the eyes appears a wrinkled "spiderweb", beneath them are formed ugly sacks and sagging eyelids. These problems may not be age-related, but be congenital or acquired due to some illness. Naturally, this gives rise to much upset, because it is the beauty of the eyes that is fundamental for the beauty and youth of the face.

Fortunately, aesthetic medicine does not stand still. And to date, there are special methods aimed at restoring youth to the eyes and the circumorbital area. One of them is a plastic surgery - blepharoplasty.

There is blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids and the upper ones. And it represents a surgical correction of the eyelids in order to eliminate the hanging folds above the eye and the bags under the eyes. It consists in the removal of excess fat formations or skin.

Blepharoplasty of lower eyelids is recommended in the following cases:

1) The skin of the lower eyelids, because of its excess, creates an overhanging effect.

2) There is a fatty bag in the lower eyelid.

3) The lower corners of the eyes are dropped.

4) In the lower eyelid area there are deep folds or wrinkles.

For the patient, this plastic surgery is an excellent opportunity to add to his look of openness and freshness. And the best results of blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids show in people no older than 60 years.

Like any operation, the plastics of the lower eyelids require careful preparation. First of all, the doctor appoints an examination of the body. At this stage, all the necessary tests are taken, an ECG is performed to check the work of the heart, visual acuity is assessed . In the case of any eye diseases, an additional consultation with an ophthalmologist is required. Evaluating the deformation of the shape of the eyelids and determining the amount of excess skin, the specialist selects the optimal method of surgical intervention.

The very blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids is quite fast. The entire procedure takes an average of one and a half to three hours. By the line of eyelash growth in the lower eyelid, the doctor makes a cut through which surplus fat is released, and then excess skin is removed. After the ciliary edge, he applies an internal cosmetic suture, which is absolutely invisible. In the event that the blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids was successful, the removal of the sutures will occur on the 6th day after the operation. And the recovery period is 2 weeks.

This procedure is a fairly serious surgical intervention, and therefore it has a number of contraindications:

- hypertension;

- diabetes;

- heart diseases;

For people who can not take blepharoplasty for health reasons, and for those who do not accept surgical methods, an excellent alternative may be facial shaping for the lower eyelids. This technique of special exercises for the face will strengthen the skin of the lower eyelids and make the look more open.
