Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid Surgery is a plastic surgery procedure performed to remove excess skin or fatty tissue of the eyelid. This surgery is usually performed due to sagging of the eyelids during the aging process. Eyelid surgery is a procedure usually performed under local anesthesia. During the operation, excess skin or fatty tissue is removed and the eyelid is reshaped. The surgery takes approximately one hour to complete.
Certain steps must be followed during the patient's recovery process after surgery. For example, there may be swelling, bruising, and pain during the first few days. These symptoms usually subside within a few days. Postoperative stitch removal is usually done one week later. Additionally, the patient is advised to avoid light and sun for the first few days to protect his eyes. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid sports, heavy lifting and strenuous activities.
Although eyelid surgery is generally a safe procedure, it has some risks, like any surgery. These risks may include infection, bleeding, delayed wound healing, and eyelid ptosis. Therefore, it is important to meet with a plastic surgeon before surgery and be informed about the potential risks and benefits of surgery. Eyelid surgery is preferred by many people due to sagging eyelids or excess skin. This surgery is an effective method to provide a younger, fresher and more energetic appearance. However, remember that certain steps must be followed before and after surgery and that you must be informed about the potential risks of the surgery.
