Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty may be considered after assessment of the skin and other tissues of the upper or lower eyelids. Evaluation includes visual symptoms, ocular surface health, eyelid function and general health.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Changes in upper-eyelid skin and tissues are assessed together with eyebrow position, eye-surface health and visual symptoms. The need for surgery, tissues to remove or preserve, and anaesthesia are determined after examination. The same procedure is not appropriate for everyone.
Operating time, discharge and return to daily activities depend on the procedure and the person’s health. Risks including scarring, bleeding, infection, asymmetry, dry eyes and difficulty closing the eyelids should be discussed with the physician before surgery. Outcomes vary between individuals.
Who May Be Assessed for Eyelid Surgery?
Excess eyelid skin, puffiness, changes in eyelid position or visual-field symptoms can be assessed during an examination. These findings alone are not sufficient to decide on surgery.
General health, medicines, dry eyes, other eye conditions and expectations are considered together. The physician explains surgical and non-surgical options, possible benefits, limitations and risks. Not every consultation leads to surgery.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Changes in lower-eyelid skin and fat are assessed together with eyelid support, eye-surface health and midface anatomy. The surgical approach depends on examination findings and individual needs.
For suitable individuals, approaches using an incision inside the eyelid or below the lash line may be considered. The approach, tissue preservation or repositioning and possible risks are discussed beforehand. Changes in eyelid position, dry eyes, asymmetry, scarring and the possible need for further treatment should be explained individually.
Recovery After Eyelid Surgery
Swelling, bruising, tenderness or dry eyes may occur after eyelid surgery. Symptoms and the time needed to resume daily activities vary between individuals. Follow the physician’s individual instructions about medicines, wound care, eye hygiene and physical activity.
Follow-up appointments are arranged to assess healing. Seek prompt medical attention for sudden changes in vision, severe or increasing eye pain, or significant bleeding.
Results of any surgical or interventional procedure may vary between individuals. Consult your physician in detail before the procedure.
