Candidates for eyelid surgery
Preparing for blepharoplasty is not always straightforward. First, you need to choose a professional plastic surgeon who has a proven experience in eye plastic surgery. During your initial consultation, your surgeon will discuss your problems and the expected results for your eyelids. In addition, preparation for blepharoplasty also includes:
Undergo physical examination and several eye tests or lab tests. Also, your surgeon may take clinical photographs of your eyelids to help throughout the surgery.
Get certain things ready in your home before surgery, such as gauzes, ice packs, and eye drops.
Stop taking certain medications, including aspirin and other drugs that cause bleeding.
Steps of eyelid surgery
Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure that needs around 2 hours to be completed for both the upper and lower eyelids. Your surgeon may give you either a local or general anesthetic. Here is a quick review of steps that your surgeon may follow during the upper and lower eyelids surgery:
1. Incision Making
Your surgeon makes an incision in the skin fold of the eyelid.
