The procedure has changed a lot in recent years and should be customized according to the needs of the patient
Summary
Blefaroplast is the most performed surgical procedure in Brazil and the United States, with the aim of rejuvenating the perorbital area, removing excess skin and fat bags in the eyelids.
Communication is not only oral: expressions also inform a lot. And in this context, for good or for evil, the eyes communicate a lot without the need to say a word. They help us develop significant relationships, revealing our real emotions and feelings. On the other hand, however, they can also reveal our level of stress and how good (or bad) we sleep the night before. This may be the reason why blepharoplasty, also known as lifting of the eyelids, is the most performed surgical procedure in Brazil and in the United States, according to the International Eashetic Plastic Surgery Society (Isaps). In 2022, in Brazil there were 201,396 procedures in Brazil, 104,214 in the United States and a total of 1,409,103 in the world, in front of abdominoplasty and rhinoplasty, for example.
“Suitable for aesthetic and functional purposes, since the excessive arc kick of the eyelid can interrupt the vision of some people, blepharoplasty surgery aims to rejuvenate the periorbital area by removing the skin and fat pockets present in the eyelids in excess higher and lower, with the possibility of repositioning these structures or filling the region when the doctor considers it necessary “, explains Paolo Rubez, a plastic surgeon Graduated from UNIFESP and a complete member of the Brazilian plastic surgery company.
The plastic surgeon Beatriz Lassance, a member of the Brazilian plastic surgery society, underlines that many patients say that their eyes make them seem tired or elderly.
“With age, the changes in the composition of the skin. Collagen and elastic fibers change quality and quantity, the skin becomes thinner and less elastic, like an elastic that extends but does not return to its initial state. This occurs with the skin in general. The skin of the eyelid is extremely thin and often loses thickness and elasticity seems a lot of skin. Under the skin, there are other structures, very thin muscles and a fat deposit that serves to accommodate the eyeball. This fat is contained by a membrane that also loses its quality and ends up for hernnando, leaving a little place, are the bags for the eyelid. The upper eyelid beyond the alteration of the skin, the protrusion of the bags, can be worsened by the fall of the Superstap. The very common error in blepharoplasty is to remove excess skin without considering the position of the eyebrows. The sad and tired air that the remaining skin generates does not improve if the cause is the fall of the eyebrow “, explains the doctor.
In this way, quality blepharoplasty can perform much more than raising your eyes. It can also remove excess skin, reduce the appearance of swelling under the eyes and, in some cases, also improve the previously altered view.
Beatriz explains that blepharoplasty has changed a lot in recent years. “The simple removal of skin and fat has shown over the years responsible for encouraged and rounded eyes. Today we have a more conservative conduct, instead of removing the volume, we reposition the fabrics. Diagnosis is very important. The tired and sad appearance may be due to the fall of the supersariat associated with the protrusion of the remaining and remaining skin bags. If all these structures are not treated together, it will not be fine. In young patients, simple skin removal may be sufficient. In the lower eyelids, there may be ligaments and falling muscles beyond the protrusion of the bags. Once again, all the structures must be treated together, “explains the doctor.
Like all surgery, it should be done in a well -equipped and safe surgical environment for the patient. “Made under local anesthesia with sedation or general, surgery, which lasts between one and two hours, can also be performed together with the third lifting, when it also explains the excess fabric in the eyelids Paolo Rubez.
Usually the patient leaves the hospital on the same day. According to Paolo, the recovery of the procedure is silent and painless and in the first days after surgery the patient can have swelling and bruises on site, symptoms that are resolved within a few weeks and can be relieved with the help of rest and compositions a cold on the eye.
However, Paolo Rubez underlines that blepharoplasty surgery should not be confused with the surgery of the ptosis of the eyelids, a little known and subsidized condition that gives the opening of the eyes a lower size than the ideal, which is about 9 mm. And most people mistakenly imagine that surgery for the correction of ptosis is blepharoplasty.
“While blepharoplasty aims to remove excess skin and the fat of the eyelids that occur due to the aging process, surgery for the correction of the ptosis of the eyelid serves to treat the condition characterized by the low positioning of the upper eyelids, which yes translates into a reduction in the eye opening, “says the doctor.
Surgical interventions can also be performed jointly, but only when the patient, in addition to the ptosis of the eyelids, also suffers from excess skin on the eyelids and excess fat bags. “However, it is important to emphasize that, before opting for any of the procedures mentioned above, it is essential to speak with a doctor, because, for the secular gaze, it is very easy to confuse relaxation with the bad positioning of the eyelids and only the professional Specialized they can give the correct diagnosis and indicate the best treatment for your case, “concludes the plastic surgeon.
It inspires the transformation into the world of work, business, society. It is the creation of the compass, content and the connection agency.
