Pay attention to older people: what part of the face shows age the most? That's right, the eyes - this is the area that tells everything about a person without concealment. No wonder they say that the eyes are the mirror of the soul, and not only the soul.
But how to hide your age from others if a person is not ready to look at those years that can be calculated from a passport? Of course, you can wear sunglasses around the clock, but there is a much more modern, effective and attractive option. This operation is upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
Beauty and confidence
The intervention belongs to the category of plastic surgery and is quite difficult to implement, so it is recommended to work only with reliable and experienced doctors. How to understand who is the best plastic surgeon for blepharoplasty? You should study the reviews for the work of different specialists.
Trusting independent unverified sources is not recommended, the best option is the experience of friends. Ask friends and colleagues. If none of them did circular blepharoplasty, then there will surely be acquaintances of acquaintances,undergoing surgery. They will be able to advise who is worth contacting and who is not trustworthy.
Aging changes: no hiding
From year to year, the soul may not grow old, but unfortunately, this is typical of the body. It is easy to notice changes in the face, especially the overhanging of the skin of the upper eyelid. It looks ugly, conspicuous, not masked by makeup.
The skin around the eyes is very delicate, so aging affects this area first of all. Elasticity, elasticity go away, which is why the eyelid becomes so heavy, the muscles cannot hold it in place, an unpleasant visual effect is created. The skin forms into folds and looks like there is more of it than it should be. Because of this, the eyes look swollen around the clock, and the whole face looks as if a person has not rested for a long time. A heavy, tired look repels others. Circular blepharoplasty will help get rid of this.
Surgeons will fix everything
The operation is performed on men and women. It is recommended to everyone who has the upper eyelid skin showing signs of aging, sagging. During the intervention, doctors remove excess volumes of the dermis and redistribute the fat layer under the surface of the skin. This helps to eliminate age-related changes.
Indications are not always age, often problems are not related to years. For example, people by nature have such a structure of the eyes that the skin is formed excessively. Known cases of hernia. The reason may be ingenetic predisposition, in eyelid defects. The latter are acquired, congenital. Prices for blepharoplasty in Moscow have become somewhat lower due to high competition in recent years, so almost everyone can regain their beauty.
So how much does it cost?
Of course, everyone wants to be beautiful, but the services of plastic surgeons are very expensive - this is the stereotype that has developed in society decades ago. But the situation in the market of surgical services has changed. Partly the reason is the development of modern methods, which made it possible to reduce the cost of procedures, partly the high competition.
Estimated prices for blepharoplasty in Moscow - from 20 thousand rubles. Of course, there are practically no limits upwards, but operations are rarely performed for more than a hundred thousand - unless it will be an eminent luxury surgeon. Residents usually do not need such services, so even in the most difficult case it will be possible to meet one hundred thousand.
What gives?
Usually, the upper eyelid after blepharoplasty looks more aesthetically pleasing, younger. This is achieved by straightening, smoothing the skin and removing excess. During the intervention, the eyebrows are slightly raised, due to which the forehead becomes smooth. Overall, it makes a strong positive impression.
Remember: the result will be good only when choosing a reliable surgeon. But something depends on the patient himself. For example, for a good result, you need to prepare for the operation in advance. Usually, the preparatory phase begins a week before the scheduled procedure. The patient should not use anticoagulants, smoke, drink alcohol-containing drinks. Do not eat or drink 7 hours before the operation. Practice shows that negative feedback on blepharoplasty of the upper eyelid is mainly left by those who do not follow the recommendations for preparing for the procedure, do not follow the doctor's advice after the operation.
How is it going?
It all starts with a consultation. The patient comes to the appointment, the doctor fixes the wishes and conducts a preliminary examination of the condition. Then they set the date of the operation and give recommendations for preparation.
Blepharoplasty itself takes only 40 minutes, in difficult cases it can take up to an hour. First, the doctor examines the dermis, marks it out and highlights where the excess accumulates, and makes local anesthesia. In some cases, general anesthesia is possible. Incisions are made on the eyelid, where instruments are inserted, hernias, excess dermis are removed, and adipose tissue is excised. If the ligaments are not working properly, the doctor corrects it.
What's next?
When the main work is completed, stitches are applied. After blepharoplasty, recovery will take some time, but in most cases it is completely invisible to others.
Additionally, during surgery, the circular muscle can be fixed. This is true if weakening is diagnosed. The doctor fixes the muscle fibers in the periosteum. Science knows this event under the name "canthopexy".
After surgery
After completing the operation, the doctor fixes the sterilebandage. For the next three days, the patient will have to wear bandages. It is not allowed to remove the patch on your own - this is due to the high probability of damage to the stitches, which almost always leads to scarring.
In blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids, rehabilitation is associated with unpleasant painful sensations noted by most patients. Minor bleeding is possible, areas near the eye swell. Perhaps the appearance of hematomas, bruises. From the reviews on blepharoplasty of the upper eyelid, it follows that with the correct behavior of the patient during the recovery period, unpleasant manifestations will soon pass.
How long to suffer?
If the situation develops normally, the recovery period lasts about two weeks. Reviews of blepharoplasty of the upper eyelid indicate that it is not easy to follow the regimen established by doctors, since restrictions on activity are imposed, it is almost impossible to participate in social life during this period.
During rehabilitation, physical activity should not be allowed, it is forbidden to smoke and drink alcohol. You should lead a he althy lifestyle and, if possible, relax, stay at home, in a calm environment. Restrictions are imposed even on the menu: heavy food will have to be excluded. Patients especially negatively assess, as follows from the reviews on blepharoplasty of the upper eyelid, a ban on reading, using a computer, TV.
What's positive?
However, there is a certain positive moment in the fact that the people who madeblepharoplasty, are dissatisfied only with the limitations of the rehabilitation period. There are practically no negative reviews on the operation itself, with the exception of those patients who got bad doctors. This, fortunately, happens very rarely.
As for the cosmetic effect after the operation, it follows from the reviews that people are satisfied with the result. It remains for quite a long time, and in the mirror you can again enjoy your own beauty and youth.
Surgery and Vision
Doctors recommend eliminating glasses and lenses in the first two weeks after surgery. There is also a ban on decorative cosmetics. You should regularly do gymnastics for the muscles of the eyes. It's pretty easy to do, but it's important to do it regularly. Among other things, gymnastics restores muscle tone, which reduces the time required for rehabilitation.
At the same time, reviews of upper eyelid blepharoplasty often negatively assess vision changes. After the operation, many complain that they see foggy, not clear enough. Doctors say this is due to dry eyes and is corrected by regular instillation of moisturizing drops. It is recommended to drip the drug twice a day in the outer corner. The duration of the course is no more than nine days, after this period, vision should return to normal.
Results: when visible?
Of course, having decided on such an operation, the patient wants to see the result immediately. In fact, everything is not so simple. Even after removing the patches, the effect of medical intervention will becomenot immediately noticeable. Doctors estimate the intermediate stage at one month. After this time period, you can really see a tangible difference "before" and "after".
From the reviews it follows that the effect of surgery lasts at least 10 years. True, this can only be counted on if you happen to work with a good, experienced doctor. Plastic surgery eliminates folds, hernias, restores muscle tone and he alth. The look becomes open, clear.
Who can't?
As with any surgical intervention, blepharoplasty has contraindications. Usually, already at a consultation with a doctor, it becomes clear whether an operation can be performed or whether the measure is not applicable in this particular case.
Assess the condition of the area near the eyes. If a person's eyelids suffer from chronic diseases, if conjunctivitis or serious eye diseases are diagnosed, blepharoplasty cannot be done. Surgery is not possible if the patient has a known dry eye syndrome.
List of contraindications
You can not do the operation if the disease is diagnosed:
- blood;
- heart;
- cancerous;
- vascular;
- exacerbated chronic, infectious;
- diabetes.
Blepharoplasty should not be performed on pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Compatible with others
In practice, blepharoplasty is rarely performed as an independent surgical intervention. Much more often it is combined with other measures to restore youth to the skin. Very often, the intervention is carried out as an element of the correction complex for the upper eyelid. Forehead drooping may be an indication for an event.
Doctors perform blepharoplasty, lift, sometimes other interventions. An integrated approach allows you to achieve the best result.
Blepharoplasty: laser technology
The use of the laser showed a particularly good result of the operation. With this technique, the results are seen faster, and the effect itself is more gentle in comparison with classical surgery.
When using a laser, the effect on the cells of the body is such that the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated, due to which the skin is tightened, this is visually noticeable. The procedure can be carried out independently or in combination with others. But you should be prepared for a higher cost than in the case of classical surgery.
What can we add?
Usually, doctors recommend blepharoplasty in combination with other cosmetic procedures that restore he alth and youth to the skin of the face. Most often, a forehead lift is performed at the same time by the method of endoscopy. You can combine the operation with plastic surgery that changes the shape of the nose, you can correct the eyebrows. Blepharoplasty will not save you from mimic wrinkles, it is better to use Botox, filler or other injection methods against them.
