treatment
Oncological diseases and blood clotting disorders are obstacles to the operation.
Inflammatory processes, the presence of a rash or other dermatological problems are considered grounds for postponing surgical intervention for a certain time.
Specific contraindications to blepharoplasty are some diseases of the visual organs - glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, as well as inflammatory and infectious processes in the periorbital zone.
In addition, there are temporary contraindications: pregnancy, breastfeeding and menstruation.
The preparatory period includes a number of medical examinations and tests. These studies will help the surgeon get a complete picture of the patient’s health condition and the possible risks of the intervention. Usually a person is sent for an ECG, fluorography, as well as blood and urine tests.
Based on the results of medical research, the specialist selects the most suitable blepharoplasty method. In addition, the surgeon will make recommendations regarding lifestyle and diet changes before surgery.
In particular, 2-3 days before the intervention it is necessary to give up alcohol, nicotine and certain groups of medications - for example, aspirin and drugs from the NSAID group.
General information about the procedure
Procedure
The procedure itself is performed both under local anesthesia and general anesthesia. In most cases, hospitalization is not required and the person is sent home on the day of the intervention.
During blepharoplasty, various techniques are used, including:
- Traditional eyelid surgery. It involves making incisions in the eyelid area and removing excess skin and/or fat
- Transconjunctival blepharoplasty. Incisions are made on the mucous membrane of the eyelid. This avoids the appearance of visible scars
If necessary, eyelid surgery can be combined with other rejuvenation methods - for example, a facelift or lipofilling.
