Blepharoplasty: What You Need to Know About Eyelid Correction

With age, the skin around the eyes undergoes changes, which can lead to wrinkles, bags under the eyes, or excess skin on the eyelids. 
 

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that helps correct these signs of aging, restoring a fresh and rested appearance to the face.

Iryna Pradosh, a plastic surgeon from Kyiv, offers a comprehensive approach to eyelid correction, using modern techniques to achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.

Indications for Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is one of the most effective operations for correcting age-related changes in the eye area.

The most common indications for its implementation:

• Presence of bags under the eyes.
• Sagging or excess skin around the eyes.
• Asymmetry of the eyelids or other aesthetic defects.
• Fat bags and hernias in the eyelid area.
• Acquired and congenital defects.
• Excess skin in the lower eyelid area.
• Wrinkles around the eyes.
• Folds in the periorbital area.
• Ectropion on the lower eyelid.
• Drooping corners of the eyes.
• Heaviness of the eyelid, bulging.
• Blepharophimosis.

The procedure can help improve appearance and reduce the feeling of heaviness in the eye area.

Types of Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is divided into several types, depending on the area of correction:

1. Upper Blepharoplasty is a surgical correction of the upper eyelids, allowing the removal of excess skin and restoring the natural contour of the eyes.
2. Lower Blepharoplasty is an operation aimed at correcting the area under the eyes. It helps to eliminate bags and wrinkles in this area.
3. Circular Blepharoplasty is a comprehensive operation that combines the correction of both the upper and lower eyelids. This option provides a more pronounced rejuvenating effect and allows for a harmonious appearance around the eyes.

Advantages of Blepharoplasty

Among the main advantages of blepharoplasty is the ability to achieve long-lasting results with minimal interference in the usual way of life. The operation allows patients to feel more confident and look younger, and the result can last for many years.

A consultation with a specialist, such as Iryna Pradosh, will help you understand which type of blepharoplasty is right for you and what results can be expected after the procedure.
