Blepharoplasty

When commenting on beauty, it is always about the eyes, as they are the window to the soul. Blepharoplasty, or double eyelid surgery, is a simple and effective way to improve the appearance of the eyes and make them beautiful and luminous. With the constant pursuit of quality of life, blepharoplasty has become one of the most common cosmetic surgical procedures performed today. However, due to changing aesthetic views, aesthetic and technical differences between plastic surgeons, there are always some consumers who are not satisfied with the change in appearance after blepharoplasty and require a second revision. The eyelid line disappears or partially disappears: Mostly after the buried wire method and after the partial incision method. In thicker eyes, the buried wire method fails to make the lid and skin permanently adhere to the eyelid, and in the incision method, there is too much fat and subcutaneous tissue in the orbital septum, which affects the adhesion of the skin to the lid. 2. Excessive lid width: The width of the eyelid is greater than 8 mm, or too wide for the shape of the face (small and round), and is commonly seen in European eye seekers. In addition to the wide eyelid width, there is less subcutaneous tissue and orbital fat on the eyelid line and below the orbital bone, resulting in depression and poor appearance. 3. Narrow eyelid: The absolute width of the eyelid is less than 5 mm, resulting in an inner double, or the width of the eyelid is too narrow and uncoordinated in relation to the shape of the patient’s face. 4. Lid line discontinuity: The lid line is interrupted, with poor continuity and a high middle position. The inner part of the eyelid line is too high and cannot be lifted along with the lid margin when the eyes are opened. 5. Asymmetry of the eyelid line: This may be related to the patient’s condition or may be due to asymmetry in the design or lack of care in the surgery. 6. Multiple blepharoplasty lines: Two blepharoplasty lines (one to two more folds than the eyelid) or even a triple eyelid or partial (medial or lateral) blepharoplasty. It is mostly seen in patients with more lax skin. The design and communication with the patient prior to surgery is critical, and different surgical treatment plans should be developed based on the patient’s specific situation. For patients who have lost their eyelid line, have a wide eyelid line, have multiple eyelid lines, have an uneven eyelid line, or have an uneven eyelid line, we usually use an incisional blepharoplasty to redesign the eyelid line and re-execute the surgery according to the patient’s requirements and their own situation. 2. For patients with a narrow blepharoplasty line, an incision is made along the original incision, the skin below the blepharoplasty line is fully peeled, the orbicularis oculi and pre-lid tissues in front of the lid are removed, and the upper lid skin is stretched and the incision is lifted and sutured to increase the width of the blepharoplasty (the width can be increased by 1-3 mm). This method also allows the eyelashes of young patients to be upturned. This increases the aesthetic appeal. In addition, the eyelids will be more realistic and natural after surgery because the subcutaneous tissue under the eyelid line is thinned. For patients with narrowing of the eyelid line due to skin laxity, some skin tissue should also be removed. Most patients can get good results after reoperation. Individuals whose results are not ideal because the original shape is too poor can also get some degree of improvement after surgery, thus psychological pressure will be reduced, and maintaining a good psychological state will also help recovery from another surgery. Third, the recovery of the surgery: outpatient surgery, with the do-it-yourself. Generally, the stitches will be removed 5 days after the operation, and special circumstances will be followed by medical advice. Post-operative precautions: 1. Intermittent cold compresses can be applied locally within 24 hours after surgery to facilitate the reduction of swelling. 2. Postoperative bed rest is best for head high position to facilitate swelling reduction. 4.Basically no obvious pain after surgery, such as slight pain, you can take painkillers. 5. Normal postoperative eye opening and closing activities.
