Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves working on the eyelids to restore vision and improve aesthetics. It is typically performed in a blepharoplasty surgery clinic and is a one-day procedure for most patients. This means that you don’t have to be admitted to the clinic and you can go home after the procedure.

How it works is that an experienced professional like Dr. Debraj Shome will remove excess fat and skin that is weighing down the eyelids and tighten the skin, to help improve the physical appearance of the eyes and address any functionality limitations the droopy eyelid was causing.

Benefits and Side Effects of Blepharoplasty

There are many reasons why many people in India and other parts of the world are opting for blepharoplasty. Similarly, with procedures like these, there would always be a risk of complications and side effects. Let’s take a look at all these below:

Common Side Effects of Blepharoplasty Surgery

Blurred vision – Right after the surgery, some patients experience blurry vision that may be caused by the lubricating ointments used during the surgery

Watering eyes – This is another common side effect that may also be caused by lubricating ointments, pain, or bruising.

Pain – Some procedures are performed under anesthesia to ensure a painless procedure and comfort for the patient. However, as the anesthesia starts to wear out, patients may experience some pain. This, however, can be managed by pain medications.

Swelling and bruising – Swelling and bruising occur right after the procedure and some days following. Using ice or cold compresses can help. Your doctor can also prescribe some medication to reduce these symptoms.

Light sensitivity – Eyes are already sensitive to the sun and you may experience even more sensitivity in the treated area after the surgery.

Anyone can do it – Blepharoplasty was almost always associated with old age. That is because as we grow old, our skin loses elasticity and becomes saggy, which leads to conditions such as droopy eyelids. However, that is not necessarily the case today. Younger people are doing the procedure too.

Restores youthfulness – Some people start experiencing early signs of aging as early as in their twenties, thirties, and forties. These signs may include wrinkles around the forehead and eyes, which make an individual look tired, sleepy, sad, or even angry. Blepharoplasty can be done to address these signs, restoring a softer and younger look.

Boost confidence – Nobody likes to look old, tired, and wrinkly. It causes people to be self-conscious about their appearance and derails their confidence. Having blepharoplasty surgery can eliminate wrinkles, tighten the skin, and significantly boost an individual’s confidence.

Risks and Complications

Infections – Blepharoplasty surgery involves techniques that require the practitioner to make incisions, which can provide a gateway to infection-causing bacteria. The Esthetic Clinics ensures top-notch hygiene and that all surgical equipment are disinfected and sterilized before and during all surgical procedures to minimize the risk of infections.

Follow-up surgeries – This doesn’t always happen but in some cases, especially where there may be correction needed, a follow-up surgery may be necessary.
