The
physiological process of aging doesn't affect everybody in
the same way. Some people, due to their physical constitution,
genetic base or way of life are more prone to the facial aging
process. As the years go by, skin loses its elasticity and
firmness, especially in the region of eyelids, as it is very
thin in that area. Slowly but surely, the eyelids change.
Wrinkles, furrows and fatty pads appear, making the eyes and
face look old and tired.
Excess
skin and fatty tissue on the eyelids can only be removed by
a surgical procedure called BLEPHAROPLASTY. Cosmetic
products or massages cannot help in these cases.
Blepharoplasty
is considered to be a minor and very efficient operation,
with little or no risk to the patient, if performed by an
experienced cosmetic surgeon. Excess skin is removed with
precision in accordance to a plan based on previously prepared
measurements. We use radio-surgery to perform this operation
because this technology makes very accurate incisions possible,
without any damage to the surrounding tissue. That way we
get optimal aesthetic effect and the recovery is accelerated.
In order to obtain the best aesthetic effect, we use sutures
that are as thin as a human hair. These are placed beneath
the skin-layer and there are no visible stitches. The incision
is placed within the natural creases of the skin. The final
result of the operation is an obvious rejuvenation. The eyes
look younger, bigger and their natural beauty becomes more
prominent.
Blepharoplasty
is (when necessary) often done in conjunction with face lifting
in order to maximize the rejuvenation effect.
Blepharoplasty
is done under local enhanced anesthetic (patient is in a light
sleep)
PRACTICAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PATIENT
