Purpose of the Blepharoplasty
The purpose of this cosmetic surgery procedure is to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes. Over time, gravity takes its toll on the delicate skin surrounding a person’s eyes. The skin can become droopy, or start to sag. It may even become puffy.
When this happens, a person’s eyelids often pull down toward the eye. It can make the person look tired and worn out, and often makes them appear older than they really are. During this surgery, excess tissue is removed from the area and the skin in that region is tightened.
Risks Associated with this Procedure
Blepharoplasty is a major surgical operation, so there are certain risks that patients must take into consideration before they have this procedure performed by Dr. Kevin Sadati. As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection and a risk of negative reaction to anesthesia.
In addition, patients should note that there are several other risks associated with this surgery. Blepharoplasty risks include scarring around the eye, dry and itchy eyes, injured eye muscles, temporary numbness and temporary vision issues. Each patient will have different risk factors that must be considered before Dr. Kevin Sadati performs the surgery.
Eyelift Surgery Results
Patients will find that after the blepharoplasty, the bags have disappeared from under their eyes and they no longer look exhausted all of the time. It is important for patients to take care of their eyes after the surgery, as the skin will be especially vulnerable to sun damage.
While it can take up to 6 months for scars and incisions to disappear, most patients are thrilled with the results that they receive from this cosmetic surgery procedure. Not only do they look younger, but they feel better about themselves.
It’s not uncommon for people to experience wrinkles and sagging skin at the creases of their eyes. Many people are frustrated by this aging symptom, as it might seem irreversible. However, the blepharoplasty is a great option for those who want to rejuvenate their face and look younger again at the same time. This procedure can be performed in combination with other cosmetic surgery procedures, or it can be done on its own.
