Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin, muscle, and fat from the eyelids to improve their appearance and function. It is commonly referred to as an “eyelid lift” and can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids.
Blepharoplasty can be done for cosmetic reasons, to improve the appearance of sagging or puffy eyelids, or for functional reasons, to improve vision obstructed by excess skin or fat. The procedure involves making small incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids, removing or repositioning tissue as needed, and then closing the incisions with sutures.
Is a blepharoplasty safe?
While blepharoplasty is generally considered a safe and effective procedure, as with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, such as bleeding, infection, scarring, and changes in vision. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of blepharoplasty with a qualified healthcare professional before deciding to undergo the procedure.
