Although the eye area has an elastic structure, as collagen production and subsequent cell renewal begin to slow down due to aging, the eye area begins to lose its elasticity over time and becomes sensitive for possible deformations. As the deformation increases in the eyelids, where the signs of aging first appear, the person’s appearance takes on a more tired, old and dull expression than it is.
What is upper eyelid plastic surgery?
Upper eyelid plastic surgery is an operation to remove deformations in the upper eyelid. With upper eyelid aesthetics, the skin that loses its elasticity and becomes loose and prone to sagging over time and subsequently herniated fat tissues due to aging are intervened. Upper eyelid aesthetic surgery, which is a comfortable and reliable operation, is an operation that takes 45 minutes on average and is performed under general anesthesia, local anesthesia or sedation.
Why is upper eyelid plastic surgery needed?
On our face, which begins to age from top to bottom, hernias occur in the fat pads around the eyes over time. However, since the production of collagen in our skin decreases and subcutaneous fat tissues begin to melt, creating cavities under the skin, loosening and sagging occur in our eyelids over time. The slack eyelid skin not only makes us look older and tired, but also the excess skin accumulated in the eyelid area affects our healthy vision and hinders our vision. Upper eyelid aesthetic surgery, which combines health and beauty, is applied in deformations around your eyes that occur due to aging and environmental factors.
What is the right time for upper eyelid plastic surgery?
Applying to upper eyelid plastic surgery after the age of 30, when collagen production in the skin decreases and the skin becomes open to deformations, is important for both permanence and strong effect. Deformations encountered in the eyelid before these ages can often be intervened with many non-surgical aesthetic treatments, especially filling treatments, and moreover, effective results can be obtained. Upper eyelid aesthetic surgery is an effective option in cases where non-surgical aesthetic treatments start to be insufficient since the mid-30s.
How should the preparation process be for upper eyelid plastic surgery?
Although it is a simple and comfortable treatment, upper eyelid aesthetic surgery requires a preparation process, as in many aesthetic operations. First of all, sharing your full medical history with us during the consultation examination; your history of surgery, possible allergies, etc. Your sensitivities and the medications you use are important to us. However, if you are taking blood thinners in the form of pills or ready-made injections such as aspirin, ecopirin, you should stop using these drugs 10 days before the operation, with the knowledge of the doctor who prescribed them to you.
Taking a break from smoking is another preparation you can make. Smoking can delay your healing process as it slows cell regeneration; For this reason, it is essential for a comfortable recovery process to stop smoking about 10 days before the operation.
Are you a suitable candidate for upper eyelid aesthetics?
If you have loosening, sagging, and abundance in your upper eyelid due to aging, genetic factors or environmental reasons; If non-surgical aesthetic treatments are insufficient to make your eyelid look tight, if your loose eyelid skin starts to accumulate on your eye and negatively affects or hinders your vision, you are a suitable candidate for upper eyelid plastic surgery.
Upper Eyelid Plastic Surgery
Upper eyelid plastic surgery is an operation performed in the operating room in a full-fledged hospital. Before starting the operation, the excess skin on the upper eyelid is scratched to the extent determined in the consultation examination and the area to be intervened during the operation is determined. During this procedure, the patient is under sedation or local anesthesia. After the necessary drawings are made on the upper eyelid, the surgical team moves to the relevant department for sterilization. Here, after the team performs sterilization to cover the hands and arms, an incision is made by following the drawing made at the exact crease point of the eyelids. After this incision, the subcutaneous tissues are reshaped and the excess skin that is sagging and loosening is removed. After the excess skin accumulated on the eyelid is removed, a thin suture is made from the fold of the eyelid, and then thin tapes are adhered to both eyelids.
If a combined procedure is not required for an additional procedure, the operation is completed in approximately 45 minutes and the patient is taken to the room.
Will there be any scars after upper eyelid plastic surgery?
In upper eyelid aesthetic surgery, as in many aesthetic operations, scars remain. However, with the right planning, this scar can be hidden very well and it is possible to obtain an almost scarless surgical result. In upper eyelid surgery, the entire incision and then the suture are made at the exact crease of the upper eyelid. Since the operation coincides with the fold in an average of 6 months to 1 year, the scar, which is barely visible, turns pale and takes on an appearance of almost nothing, as it turns pale and takes on a color close to the color of the skin.
What should be considered after upper eyelid plastic surgery?
In upper eyelid plastic surgery, patients do not need to stay in the hospital. They can be discharged safely on the day of the operation. It is important to apply cold compresses around the eyes for the first 24 hours after the operation. Thanks to this compress, possible swelling is minimized. Approximately 2-3 days after the operation, a control examination is performed and the bandages are removed during this examination. Upper eyelid plastic surgery is an effective operation that offers a quick recovery chance. Approximately 5-6 days after the operation, patients can easily return to their social and business lives. One week after the operation, patients can easily apply make-up. It takes an average of 6 months for the eyelids to fully settle in their new shape and for all the signs of surgery to disappear.
