Everything About The Eyelift Surgery

The first step of the eyelift intervention is the consultation with a plastic surgeon. The patient should talk openly about their expectations and the result desired. On top of all, you should take into account that the desired result is only an improvement and that no one can guarantee you perfection. Emotional stability is one of the most important factors to be established before any aesthetic surgery, and the eyelift operation makes no exception. The procedure can improve the overall appearance of your face, boosting the level of your self confidence at the same time. After you are examined by a professional doctor, the surgeon will expose and explain all the other factors that influence your decision in connection with the operation, such as age, skin condition and other medical reasons. For example, when it comes to young people, the eyelift intervention is used for removing the fat tissue of the body, while for old people the loss of skin tone is the main reason for choosing it.

It is very important that any eye problem is detected before scheduling surgery. Under these conditions, problems can be solved by an ophthalmologist prior to surgery, or in some cases, even during it. This problem detection can be included during the consultation. The surgeon will expose all the specific details of your case, including the surgical procedure to be used and the type of anesthesia given. During all this time you will discuss other details considered before choosing eye lift, such as the risks and expenses. Every year thousands of people are healed by this miraculous technique, but this does not mean that the potential risks and complications associated with the intervention should be avoided. Possible postoperative complications are infections and hematoma, but they are rather rare. Rarely poor healing scars may require a second surgery, but if you follow the advice given by your surgeon carefully you are very unlikely to encounter these complications.

If general anesthesia is used during the intervention, you will be asleep and will not experience any kind of pain and discomfort. On the other hand, the major disadvantage is that there are some other complications that can be associated with general anesthesia. The eyelift surgery is usually is performed from the upper eyelid and ending with the lower part of the area. The subjacent compartments of fat are removed through incisions on both eyelids and lines. Through these incisions the surgeon takes off the skin tissues underneath, as well as the fatty tissues, which will be easily accessed. The type of suture is chosen according to surgeon's decision. Once it is completely healed it will be hardly visible, especially after 6-8 weeks. Immediately after surgery, wet compresses will be applied on the eyes in order to accelerate the healing process. Depending on the magnitude of surgery, you might have to wait between 1 and 2 hours and even more.
