4 Questions Every Patient Needs To Ask Before Their Blepharoplasty in Toronto
LEARN MORE ABOUT BLEPHAROPLASTY PROCEDURES
Few features can create dramatic changes in appearance that your eyes can. When the delicate skin around them ages, wrinkles and sags, you may appear far older and more tired than you really are.
Treating the signs of aging with blepharoplasty is a powerful, yet straightforward cosmetic surgery.
When you decide it’s time to take charge and refresh your look, you’ll need to meet with a facial cosmetic surgery expert and ask the following questions.
Am I A Good Blepharoplasty Candidate?
Whether your problem is hooded eyes, crow’s feet, under eye bags, or all the above, there’s a customizable blepharoplasty procedure for you.
Ideal candidates for upper or lower eyelid surgery are usually over the age of 35, in good general health, have realistic expectations, and show signs of sagging skin that can be corrected. For those who are genetically prone to upper eyelids obscuring their vision, or those who wish to define a double eyelid, precise techniques to accomplish this for all ages and ethnicities have been developed.
What Can You Achieve With This Procedure?
Excess skin and fat pads can be removed to create smoother contours and reduce hooding. Incisions can be placed inside the lower lid, within eyelid creases, or just under the lash line, depending on individual needs. What the procedure can’t always do is remove fine lines in the skin. Additional non-surgical treatments which are effective to smooth the complexion will be recommended for you.
We all know that one of the most captivating and expressive facial areas can be a person’s eyes. Find out more about how blepharoplasty can help you.
What Techniques Are Used?
Eyelid surgery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Many patients choose only to address the upper or lower eyelids. General or local anaesthesia with sedation can be used. The small incisions are well hidden and allow the removal of a small ellipse of skin if necessary.
What Will The Recovery Be Like?
The initial recovery period requiring time off work will usually be 2 weeks. During that time, most swelling and related bruising will resolve, and your incisions are expected to close. You will be provided with instructions including which activities to avoid while healing and topical medications to apply. Patients can expect a little blurred vision in the first week due to swelling and eye-watering. Many people return to work two weeks after the procedure, but this delicate area will show a little residual swelling for a month or more. Ultimately, pink incisions fade to thin, pale lines and will not be readily visible to others.
When you have questions about your facial rejuvenation and specific options that suit you, the best approach is to schedule an in-person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon who specializes in this area. They’ll examine you, and together, you can create a custom-tailored plan, just for you.
