People from all ages may benefit from Blepharoplasty. The patients may improve their hereditary scars, that may make them look old and tired, having swollen eyelids or dark circles.
The procedure may be altered according to the specific problem. If intervention is necessary for the upper eyelids, it is unnecessary to operate on the lower elelids as well and vice versa. If the problem is caused by excess lardaceous tissue, only its removal is necessary. However usually patients who are between 40 and 50 years of age have swollen upper eyelids, excess skin under the lower eyelids and the eyes, excess fat, skin and muscle to take care of. Sometimes smoothing of the forehead skin is recommended. In the case of dark pigmentation leading to dark circles chemical peel may be necessary.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia. After 5 to 7 days the patient may go back to work and in 3 weeks may start doing exercises.
