As we get older, the signs of aging start to settle on various parts of our bodies. These signs include wrinkles and fine lines in facial areas. It can also lead to baggy eyelids that are a result of protruding fat pads around the eyes. An eyelid surgery can correct the signs of aging around the eyes. This type of procedure is very delicate and should only be attempted by a professional surgeon. Therefore, we highly recommend that you consider us when you want to address the signs of aging around the eyes.
What Can I Expect from Eyelid Surgery?
Apart from being a solution to surgically address aging signs, it is also a medical solution for people with genetically protruding eyelids. Such a condition can escalate to a point where the eyelids start to impair their vision. Therefore, by removing the excess skin and fat in these areas, the eyelids are sculpted for a more natural, rejuvenated look that does not impair your vison. Although the results are not considered a permanent solution, they last for years to come. Therefore, you can rest assured that this type of procedure is a feasible solution for someone with protruding eyelids.
How Do I Prepare for Eyelid Surgery?
If you are considering cosmetic eyelid surgery and want to know how you will prepare for such a surgery, here is what you must know. You must not apply makeup to your eyelids for at least 24 hours before your surgery. If this operation is a part of a complete facelift, we ask that you shampoo your hair the night before and the morning of the surgery. We also recommend that you do not wear any clothing that must be pulled over your head.
Since excessive bleeding is a possibility during such a surgery, we ask that you stay away from any medication that will influence blood coagulation in your body for 2 weeks before the operation and a week afterwards. These types of medication include aspirin and anti-inflammatory medication, influencing the thickness of the blood and the way the blood coagulates when exposed to oxygen. We also ask that smokers quit smoking for at least 2 months before the surgery. This will promote cellular recovery and healing afterwards.
