For traditional lower lid surgery, an incision
is made just beneath the lash line. Excess fat, muscle and
skin are removed. Fine sutures are used to close the incision.
Permanent stitches will be removed 3-5 days after the procedure.
Results
This surgery will make eyes look brighter,
larger, and more rested by removing loose skin, stretched
muscle, and excess fat. In some people this procedure will
improve vision by removing the excessive skin of the upper
eyelids which can hang down and interfere with peripheral
vision. Eyes will look more youthful. The surgery of lower
lids should smooth out bulges, take away fat bags from under
eyes, and make the skin snugger. One will look rested, and
people will see your face instead of focusing on your unsightly
lower lids. The results tend to be long lasting. It is very
common and recommended to have this surgery between ages 38
and 50.
Possible Risks
Possible risks are may include bleeding,
infection, scarring, dry eye problems, asymmetry, and difficulty
in closing the eyes, pulling down of the lower lids, allergic
reactions, eyelash hair loss, delayed healing, risks and complications
associated with anesthesia and in very rare case blindness.
Risks and complications of surgery are best to be discussed
at the time of your consultation. Smoker has a greater risk
of pulmonary and wound healing compactions.
After Care
The first evening after surgery, you should
rest quietly with your head elevated. It will help to apply
cold compresses to your eyelids. Your blood pressure
should be monitored to avoid bleeding complications that can
affect vision. Although you can be up almost immediately,
a limit in activities is recommended.
Recovery Period
At first the incisions will probably be
red and bumpy. The resulting scar requires some time to flat
and inconspicuous. The stitches will be removed within 5 days.
The swelling and discoloration around your eyes will gradually
subside. Your look will improve in the time being. Swelling
and bruising varies considerably from person to person. Bruising
typically disappears within 7-10 days. You can use your make
up to conceal any discoloration after 7 days. Your vision
may be blurred for a few days or longer. Your eyes may be
temporarily sensitive to light, and you may experience excessive
tearing or dryness in your eyes. Eyedroppers can be used to
help relieve any burning or itching.
Post Operative Care
For the first week, you 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.
