Types of blepharoplasty
Distinguish between the "upper" and "lower" blepharoplasty. At the "top" eyelid incisions are made in the area of the upper eyelid, while they are located along the natural folds to postoperative scar was not noticeable. To remove the wrinkles and the overhang of the upper eyelid, is excision of excess skin, bulging fat removed, and then superimposed cosmetic sutures and surgical adhesive. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia or intravenous anesthesia. Before performing surgery, the surgeon marks cutting lines on the upper eyelid and the skin area to be removed. After processing zone operation is performed anesthesia with a scalpel, laser or radionozha skin incision is made and removed one of its plot, which was noted.Then superimposed intradermal cosmetic suture and plaster. Much less is "top" through the eyelid transconjunctival access. In this case, a special hook made diversion of the upper eyelid, the inner surface (conjunctiva) produce a small incision (less than 5 mm) through which the removed portion of the excess fat. After this incision is not stitched and it healed very quickly. If done correctly, this method has virtually no complications. But it shows only those patients whose problem is it is in excess of the inner portion vnutriorbitalnogo fat, rather than the skin of the upper eyelid.
"Lower" eyelid simultaneously solves both problems with excess skin of the lower eyelid, and with the presence of fat hernia. With this type of surgery the incision is performed directly under the line of eyelashes, runs parallel to them that allows us to make the post-operative scar is almost invisible. After that removes fat and excess skin hernia, closed with stitches, and pasted a surgical adhesive. If the patient has only a fatty hernia, we recommend holding the "lower" transconjunctival blepharoplasty access. Special hook lower eyelid retracted, the inner surface make one or two incisions, through which remove excess fat vnutriorbitalnogo. As with the "top" operations of this type, and "bottom" transconjunctival blepharoplasty through access incisions are not sutured, and quickly heal.
