Upper Blepharoplasty

What is upper eyelid blepharoplasty?

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty refreshes tired eyes by removing excess skin and restoring a youthful appearance. By excising extra skin, muscle, and occasionally fat, cosmetic upper blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as cosmetic eyelid surgery, improves the look of the upper eyelids. This procedure addresses problems including puffiness, drooping eyelids, and mild asymmetry to help produce a more young and rejuvenated appearance. Upper blepharoplasty clinics in Dubai offer expert care for refreshed, youthful-looking eyes.

Every patient receives natural and ideal results since the technique is tailored to their specific demands and aesthetic preferences.

Upper blepharoplasty surgery in Dubai only affects the upper eyelid, while some types of blepharoplasty may also treat the under-eye region.

A blepharoplasty can help address issues with the upper eyelids, yet surgery isn't always the best course of action. Continue reading to find out more about this surgery, including potential risks and recovery factors you might want to talk about with a physician or other healthcare provider.

Who is an ideal candidate for the upper blepharoplasty surgery?

An ideal candidate for the upper blepharoplasty surgery is someone who usually has clear, reasonable expectations, is in generally excellent health, and wants to improve their appearance while maintaining a youthful, natural appearance that accentuates their facial traits. Since they frequently exhibit obvious indications of aging around the eyelids, most people in their 30s or older are thought to be excellent candidates for the surgery. But the procedure can also be quite helpful for younger people with inherited eyelid issues.

Candidates for an upper blepharoplasty are those:

Have drooping (sagging) eyesight problems or cosmetic concerns. Eyelids do not smoke and do not suffer from any severe eye disorders.
Have reasonable expectations for the outcome and are deemed healthy overall, free of any chronic illnesses that might hinder recovery.

Understanding the upper blepharoplasty treatment

How is the upper blepharoplasty surgery performed?

The upper blepharoplasty surgery is performed under anesthesia. During the treatment, a tiny incision in the upper eyelid's natural crease removes extra skin, muscle, and fat. We make the incision in the crease to minimize the visible scars.

Usually, local anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedation is used during upper eyelid surgery to keep the patient comfortable during the process. Compared to general anesthesia, this type of anesthesia also offers fewer side effects and a faster recovery. Upper blepharoplasty recovery in Dubai is quick.

What are the risks of the upper blepharoplasty surgery?

The risks of the upper blepharoplasty surgery are mild. Upper eyelid surgery in Dubai is safe and successful when carried out by a highly qualified surgeon. However, there are dangers associated with any procedure, such as

Bruising that is temporary
Dry eyes
Asymmetry, or trouble shutting the eyes during the early stages of recuperation are less frequent complications
A smooth recovery is ensured and dangers are reduced by following the surgeon's post-surgery care recommendations

Possible risks and side effects of an upper blepharoplasty are mild. It's crucial to go over all potential dangers and side effects with a surgeon before deciding to get eyelid surgery.

Infection

An upper blepharoplasty has the same risk of infection as any other invasive procedure involving incisions. If the wound site is causing you severe discomfort, irritation, or drainage, give a doctor a call.

Scarring from upper blepharoplasty

If the incisions don't seal correctly or you have issues recovering from the procedure, you may develop scarring on the eyelid.

Following upper blepharoplasty, swelling

Bruising, edema, and pain are transient adverse effects of cosmetic surgery. However, if your persistent discomfort and swelling persist for more than two weeks, you should consult a physician.

Bleeding in the eye socket is an uncommon adverse effect that requires immediate treatment.

Upper blepharoplasty procedure

The upper blepharoplasty procedure is painless. A certified outpatient facility or a hospital may have a medical expert perform an upper blepharoplasty.

Before the procedure

To get the best results, a surgeon will conduct a comprehensive examination and collect several measures. We take pictures both before and after the treatment to document your appearance.

The doctor will advise you not to smoke, consume alcohol, or take any vitamins or blood thinners prior to your eyelid surgery. If your procedure involves general anesthesia, you must fast the night before. Additionally, you should plan beforehand for a trip home.

During the procedure

A local anesthetic will first be injected into your eyelid by the surgeon. To prevent pain or discomfort during the treatment, the injection will assist in numbing the region. In certain situations, we may use a general anesthetic.

To remove protruding fatty tissues and peel back extra skin, a surgeon performs an upper blepharoplasty by making incisions along the eyelid crease. Before reshaping the eyelid and sealing the wound, a surgeon removes any loose skin. The wound may need to be closed with sutures.

After the procedure

A doctor can put you in a recovery room after eyelid surgery to make sure you're healthy enough to return home. Prior to your release, they will discuss with you the use of cold compresses or eye ointments and, if necessary, prescribe painkillers.
