Blepharoplasty [Eye lids Surgery]

Your personal consultation will involve a discussion on what you perceive to be the main problems. Also, a complete medical history will be taken with particular emphasis on allergies, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, diabetes and ‘dry eyes’. Patients are advised to see an eye specialist before surgery in order to establish a baseline of eye function and to rule out dry eye.

Upper Blepharoplasty: The upper lid operation is simpler and consists of removal of a carefully measured ellipse of excess skin and muscle plus removal of highly localized fat bulges.

The lower lid operation is different. Here the cut is made just below the eyelashes and the muscle is raised. Deeper fat is partly trimmed, partly redistributed to cover the lower bony rim, in accordance with modern fat-preserving principles. The lower lid is tightened by re-fixing it to the outer bony rim [lateral canthopexy]. The muscle is then overlapped to tighten it. Any excess muscle is removed and finally the excess skin is trimmed prior to closure.

Some young persons may have bulging fat in the lower lid zone. This is usually due to genetic reasons and is most commonly seen in East Asians. For this condition, the surgery is simple being limited to removal of excess fat using a cut on the inner side of the eyelid. There are no external scars.

Refinements: Blepharoplasty has now been extended to achieve more through the same cut. In this, additional procedures are done to lift the tissues of mid-face cheek, thereby giving dramatic results. This is quite often combined with fat grafting for face and lips if required. The area of outer orbit also receives fat grafts to produce a truly dramatic rejuvenation.
