Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that helps to improve the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. It can help to restore a more youthful and rested appearance to the eyes, and can also improve vision in cases where excess skin is obstructing the visual field.
At Novomed, we offer comprehensive services, including pre-operative consultations, advanced surgical techniques, and post-operative care. Our team of experienced and skilled plastic surgeons is committed to helping you achieve your desired results while providing you with the highest level of care and attention.
What are the benefits of blepharoplasty?
Eyelid surgery can provide numerous benefits, including:
- Improved appearance: Blepharoplasty can help to restore a more youthful and rested appearance to the eyes, helping you look more alert and vibrant.
- Improved vision: In cases where excess skin is obstructing the visual field, blepharoplasty can improve vision and reduce eye strain.
- Increased self-confidence: Feeling more confident and comfortable with your appearance can boost your self-esteem and overall quality of life.
Am I a suitable candidate for this procedure?
Suitable candidates for blepharoplasty are generally individuals who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery. Specifically, candidates for blepharoplasty should:
- Have excess skin or puffiness around their eyes that makes them look tired or aged
- Have droopy or sagging eyelids that impair their vision
- Be at least 18 years old
- Not have any serious eye or medical conditions that could increase the risk of complications
- Not smoke or be willing to quit smoking for a period of time before and after the procedure
- Be able to take time off work or other activities to recover from the surgery
What happens during the consultation?
During your blepharoplasty consultation in Abu Dhabi, our plastic surgeon will evaluate your medical history and perform a physical examination to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. You will have the opportunity to discuss your expectations and goals for the surgery, and your surgeon will explain the various surgical options available to you. You may also be asked to undergo a comprehensive eye examination to evaluate your vision and eye health.
What happens during the procedure?
The blepharoplasty surgery typically takes between one to three hours, depending on the extent of the surgery. The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia, and the surgeon will make incisions along the natural crease of the eyelids to minimize scarring. Excess skin, fat, and muscle will be removed, and the incisions will be closed using sutures or surgical tape.
What happens after the procedure?
After the surgery, you will be monitored in our recovery room before being discharged. You will be given detailed instructions on how to care for your eyes, including how to apply ice packs and eye drops to reduce swelling and discomfort. You will also be advised on how to avoid activities that could strain your eyes, such as reading, watching television, or using a computer.
Your surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure that you are healing properly.
When can I see the result?
Immediately following the surgery, you will experience some swelling and bruising around the eyes. This is normal and will gradually subside over the next few days. You may also experience some discomfort or mild pain, which can be managed with pain medication.
Within the first week or two after surgery, you should start to see a noticeable improvement in the appearance of your eyelids. The excess skin and fat will have been removed, giving your eyes a more youthful and rested appearance. However, it may take several weeks for the full results of the surgery to become apparent.
It is important to keep in mind that the results of blepharoplasty are not permanent and that your eyelids will continue to age over time. However, most patients are happy with the long-lasting improvements they achieve with blepharoplasty.
