Eyelid surgery is the process to remove
fat, excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids.
Eyelid Surgery can also correct drooping upper lids and puffy
bags below eyes, but if won't remove crow's feet or wrinkly
or dark circles under your eyes.
Stitches can be removed after three to five days. This surgery
can be done as a single process or in conjunction with other
facial surgery such as a facelift or a brow lift.
The best candidates for eyelid surgery are men and women who
are physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic
in their expectations. Eyelid surgery is performed on adults
of all ages. Some patients have eyelid surgery to correct
problems that are a result of aging, while others have inherited
traits that cause them to seek treatment as early as their
20s or 30s.
Surgical Procedure
The upper eyelid incision is made in the
natural skin fold. Excess skin and fatty tissue is removed,
the muscles and a thin connective membrane tissue may be tightened,
and the incisions are carefully closed. The external incisions
are hidden within the natural fold of the upper eyelids. Much
of the operation is done with a very fine electrocautery,
which controls any bleeding. The skin is then closed with
very fine sutures.
Results
Upper eyelid surgery can make a remarkable
difference in the appearance of the face, alleviating the
appearance of tiredness and old age. The eyes appear fresher
and more youthful, and these results may last for many years.
The degree of improvement varies from patient to patient.
Possible Risks
There is always a possibility of risks including,
bleeding, infection or a reaction to the anesthesia. You can
reduce your risks by closely following your surgeon's instructions
both before and after surgery.
The minor complications might be double or blurred vision
for a few days, a temporary swelling at the corner of the
eyelids, and a slight asymmetry in healing or scarring. Tiny
whiteheads may appear after your stitches are taken out; your
surgeon can remove them easily with a very fine needle. Following
the surgery, some patients may have difficulty in closing
their eyes when they sleep.
After Care
After surgery, the surgeon will probably
lubricate your eyes with ointment and may apply a bandage.
Your eyelids may feel tight and sore as the anesthesia wears
off, but you can control any discomfort with the pain medication
prescribed by your surgeon. If you feel any severe pain, call
your surgeon immediately.
You should keep your head elevated for several days, and use
cold compress to reduce swelling and bruising. (Bruising varies
for person to person: it reaches its peak during the first
week, and generally lasts anywhere from two weeks to a month.)
You'll be taught how to clean your eyes, which may be gummy
for a week or so. For the first few weeks you may also
experience excessive tearing, sensitivity to light, and temporary
changes in your eyesight, such as blurring or double vision.
The surgeon will follow your progress very closely for the
first week or two. The stitches will be removed from two days
to a week after surgery. Once they're out, the swelling and
discoloration around your eyes will gradually subside.
Recovery Period
The recovery takes one to two weeks. You
will be able to fly back home after seven days of operation
and go back to work within a week or two.
At first the incisions will probably be red and somewhat bumpy.
Eventually, the resulting scar should become flat and inconspicuous.
Your sutures (stitches) will be removed sometime within the
first week.
The swelling and discoloration around your eyes will gradually
subside, and you'll start to look and feel better each day.
Swelling and bruising varies considerably from person to person.
Bruising typically disappears within seven to ten days. Within
the first week you will be permitted to use makeup, if desired,
to conceal any discoloration.
Your vision may continue to be somewhat blurry for a few days
or longer. Your eyes may be temporarily sensitive to light,
and you may experience excess tearing or dryness. You may
receive eyedroppers to help relieve any burning or itching.
Post Operative Care
For the first week, you’ll need to
avoid activities that dry the eyes, including reading, watching
television, wearing contacts, and using a computer. Also avoid
excessive blinking, which leads to increased swelling. You
should also wear dark sunglasses for a couple of weeks to
protect your eyes from wind and sun irritation. The eyes may
tire easily for several weeks; frequent naps are helpful.
For the third to forth week, you should avoid any activity
that increases blood flow to the eyes, including bending,
lifting, crying and sports. Your surgeon will let you know
when you are ready for exercise. Also avoid drinking alcohol,
which can lead to fluid retention and delay recovery.
