Blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery that is performed to improve the appearance of the eyelids and reduce the signs of aging in the eye area. This surgery can be performed on the upper, lower, or both eyelids.
On the upper eyelids, surgery focuses on removing excess skin and fat that can make the eyes look droopy or sunken. In addition, it can correct wrinkles and bags on the lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty can also improve the appearance of dark circles and improve vision if loose skin on the upper eyelids is obstructing vision.
Blepharoplasty is an outpatient surgery that is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient's preferences. During surgery, our extraordinary specialist, the Dr. Daniel J. Rodríguez Morales de los Ríos, makes precise incisions along the lash line or into skin wrinkles to reduce excess skin and fat. On the lower eyelids, the incision is made under the lashes, minimizing visible scarring.
After surgery, the patient may experience swelling and redness in the eye area, which usually subsides within a few days. There may also be small scars that will fade over time. Patients can return to their normal activities after a few days, but they should avoid strenuous physical exercise and prolonged exposure to the sun.
Although blepharoplasty is a safe and effective surgery, as with any surgery, there are some risks and complications. These include infections, bleeding, adverse reactions to anesthesia, visible or hypertrophic scarring, inequalities in the size or shape of the eyelids, and temporary or permanent loss of sensation in the eye area. It is for this reason that it is essential to choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to minimize risks and obtain the best results. Without a doubt, the Dr. Daniel J. Rodríguez Morales de los Ríos, will be your best option and ally to obtain excellent results.
How does blepharoplasty improve facial appearance?
Blepharoplasty improves facial appearance by eliminating or reducing wrinkles and eyelid bags, resulting in a more rested and rejuvenated appearance in the eye area. Surgery can also correct loose skin on the upper eyelids that impedes vision, improving the appearance and functionality of the eye area. Blepharoplasty can complement other facial procedures, such as facial rejuvenation or nose surgery, to achieve a more harmonious and balanced appearance of the entire face.
With which procedures can blepharoplasty be combined in ICMCE?
Blepharoplasty can be combined with other facial procedures to achieve a more rejuvenated and harmonious appearance on the face. Some of the facial procedures with which we usually combine blepharoplasty at our Center in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria include:
- Face rejuvenation: Blepharoplasty can be combined with facial rejuvenation procedures, such as dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, or a facelift, to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce wrinkles and fine lines all over the face.
- Nose surgery: Blepharoplasty can be combined with nose surgery or rhinoplasty to improve the appearance of the nose and eye area at the same time.
- Jaw Surgery: Blepharoplasty can be combined with jaw surgery or mentoplasty to improve the appearance of the jaw and eye area at the same time.
- Botulinum toxin injections or dermal fillers: Blepharoplasty can be combined with botulinum toxin injections or dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, to reduce wrinkles and fine lines in other areas of the face.
It is important to keep in mind that each patient is unique and the procedures that are combined with blepharoplasty depend on the individual needs and goals of each patient. It is important to discuss your options with our wonderful plastic and reconstructive surgeon, who will give you the best recommendations.
