What about heavy eyelids? What are the surgical methods?

Rong is a single-eyed girl, a teacher in an early childhood education center, because her eyes are small and dull, colleagues call her “squinting eyes”, and children often talk about their small-eyed teacher, although it is unintentional, but the heart is particularly aggravated uncomfortable. Rong has always dreamed of having a pair of bright double eyelids and big eyes, but she wanted to have surgery, but didn’t have time. Finally, Rong arranged a few days of vacation and came to the hospital’s plastic surgery department. After communicating with the doctor, she decided to have blepharoplasty and shape design, and after the surgery, not only did she recover well, but her eyes became so big and bright that even the children gathered around her and praised her teacher for her beautiful eyes. Due to their race, most oriental people have single eyelids, and most single eyelids are associated with inner canthus, which means that the inner corner of the eye is obscured by flabby flesh, and the inner corner of the eye looks blunt, while double eyelids rarely have inner canthus, and the inner corner of the eye is often sharp. Generally speaking, single eyelids are more suitable for oriental facial features, but most single eyelids have sagging upper lid skin that covers the eyeball when the eye is open, making the eye look smaller than it actually is and making the eye expression look dull. Double eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, removes excess fat, thins the upper eyelid, fully exposes the lid margin, and uses threads thinner than a hair to suture the eyes together, giving them a visually magnified effect after surgery, making them naturally agile and natural. Our double eyelids have the following shapes: Parallel: the double lid line is parallel to the lid margin line, this shape looks dignified and stable. The wider the eyelids are to the outer canthus, the wider the eyes are. Crescent type: double eyelid line that is arc-shaped, double eyelids at the center of the widest, the shape of the curved moon, the national people see. European-American: European-American thin and large double eyelids are also called European-style double eyelids. In addition, when designing the double eyelid, the surgeon should consider the appearance, temperament, eye and face shape of the candidate and make a comprehensive aesthetic design, taking into account the aesthetic standards of the three chambers and five eyes, as well as the tightness of the skin and whether or not the eyes are swollen, so as to design the most suitable and beautiful double eyelid for you. Surgery is suitable for people with single eyelids; one eye is single and the other eye is double; both eyes have different widths of heavy eyelids, and the two eyes are asymmetrical; the heavy eyelids are unattractive and unsatisfactory after surgery and require modification; both eyes have narrow heavy eyelids or are close to inner double and require widening; the heavy eyelids have multiple folds and have an unattractive appearance; the upper eyelids are loose and have a triangular, octagonal, or squinting appearance. The main surgical methods are as follows: 1. Incision method: The upper eyelid is surgically raised”. Advantages: good post-operative results, wide range of adaptations for the incision method, firm and reliable heavy eyelid formation that lasts a lifetime. Disadvantages: Longer recovery time, requiring a two-week – four-week recovery period. 2. Buried: Unlike the incision method, the buried method does not require surgery, but is simply connected by a dotted line, and after a period of time, a heavy eyelid is formed. The sutures are made of nylon thread, which is minimally stimulating and can remain in the body permanently. It is suitable for young people with thin eyelids without flab and without significant laxity of the eyelid skin. Pros: Less trauma, quick recovery, one week post-op recovery, and can be reworked if the surgery is not ideal. Disadvantages: Individuals can loosen, and in the distant future the eyelid line can be inconspicuous or disappear, and sometimes the sutures can form nodules under the skin that can be palpated. However, as long as the indications are grasped, loosening is rare. 3. Partial incision blepharoplasty, the Korean small incision blepharoplasty that is now hyped in private beauty salons falls into this category: a three-point incision that removes the right amount of fat and the oculocutaneous muscle to create a heavy lid effect. It is suitable for people who do not have significant skin laxity in the eyes, have thin localized upper lid skin or have a small amount of fat. Benefits: Good results, long-lasting results, no scarring, and swelling can be reduced in a week. Before having blepharoplasty, it is important to note that the following people cannot do it: 1. Patients with serious liver, kidney, heart or brain diseases, and serious blood disorders. 2. People with mental illness, psychological disorders, or those whose requirements are too high or unrealistic. 3.Patients who have skin inflammation lesions at the operation site. 4.Ladies in the period of menstruation. Also if you visit the hospital to prepare for blepharoplasty or for consultation, please do not wear heavy makeup around your eyes and minimize the local application of double eyelid patches, as this not only brings about a loosening of the upper lid skin, but also tends to cause inflammation of the upper lid skin. Finally, it is prudent to remind everyone that it is easy to do a heavy eyelid, but difficult to do a beautiful eyelid. A truly beautiful and suitable eyelid requires not only a doctor with excellent skills, but also a doctor with good aesthetics and a wealth of clinical experience. At the same time, choosing a really good plastic surgery and doctor with the skills they have is not based on advertising or bragging on the internet, but on the customer’s personal experience.
