Many people have questions about cosmetic eyelid surgery. Is it painful? What is the recovery time? What is the procedure? What are the results?
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty or eyelid lift) in Nice reduces puffiness and wrinkles around the eyes.
Blepharoplasty is therefore used to modify the upper and lower eyelids, with the aim of giving them a more youthful, rested look. The incisions in the upper eyelids are placed a centimeter or so above the eyelashes, and are therefore hidden in the natural folds of the eyelids. Through these incisions, excess fat and skin are removed.
In the case of lower eyelids, the incision is often made on the inside of the eyelid, invisible from the outside. In a minority of cases, the incision is made externally in a crease under the eyelashes.
For closure, absorbable stitches are placed. Crow's feet wrinkles on the outside of the eyes may need Botox injections after surgery to be improved. Upper eyelid wrinkles are caused not only by excess skin, but also by drooping eyebrows.
Low eyebrows give the impression that a person is sad, tired and serious. Considering the importance of eyelids due to their positioning, the success of such an operation is crucial. It is essential that blepharoplasty surgery be performed with the overall harmony of the eyes in mind.
Modifications or corrections should not be exaggerated. Please note that this cosmetic eyelid surgery in Nice will be performed without general anesthesia. Only local anesthesia. In general, one to two hours are required to perform aesthetic plastic surgery on the eyelids.
After blepharoplasty, patients can go home one to two hours after the procedure. They should be accompanied by a loved one. The main restriction after an eyelid lift is to avoid strenuous physical activity and training for the following month. I use proven methods to minimize swelling and bruising following surgery.
Bruises are usually not too noticeable at the post-operative visit seven to fourteen days after surgery.
Men and women alike can find blepharoplasty a solution to naturally drooping eyelids, sagging eyelids due to the appearance of the first signs of mature skin, or certain problems such as pronounced bags and dark circles.
