The thinnest skin in our body is found on our eyelids, which are roughly 0.05 mm in thickness and devoid of subcutaneous fat, in contrast to most of our skin. Because of our ever-changing facial expressions and exposure to the sun, facial skin generally exhibits the earliest indications of aging. The eyelids droop as a result of the skin and tissue around our facial muscles stretching and weakening with age, when they flex and contract to convey emotion. Furthermore, even though preventative skin care has been increasingly popular in society over the past ten years, there isn’t a single face mask or cream that can turn back time. In order to revitalize their eye area, many patients resort to eyelid lifts, and Dr. Hanan Lyor provides these treatments at a leading blepharoplasty clinic Dubai. Here is a comprehensive guide about eyelid correction surgery if you’re thinking about getting the procedure.
What Is Blepharoplasty? And Who Makes A Good Candidate?
A blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure used to remove excess skin from the nose or eyelids. Upper eyelid surgery Dubai is commonly chosen by those experiencing loose skin that impairs vision. Blepharoplasties have consistently been among the top five cosmetic surgeries for decades, and in 2024, they were the second most common procedure. Patients want this procedure to improve under-eye bags, minimize sagging, or get rid of wrinkles. Most applicants have seen substantial aging effects, such as drooping eyelids after years of treatment. Collagen and elastin, two proteins that give our skin its suppleness and laxity, are lost as we age. The thinness of the skin of the eyelids makes aging worse, resulting in more drooping and puffiness. Although the best eyelid surgery in Dubai can be done for cosmetic reasons, it may be medically required for people who have peripheral vision issues as a result of extreme drooping.
Blepharoplasties are performed for reasons other than aging, though; some patients may want to enhance their look because they are genetically predisposed to dark circles and puffiness beneath their eyes. Good health and the absence of any underlying medical conditions or eyesight problems that can hinder recovery are characteristics of ideal candidates for eyelid surgery. People who have eyelid ptosis, a medical disease that may be diagnosed and causes the eyelid to droop over the eye, need a separate procedure and are not suitable candidates for blepharoplasty.
Is There An Age Requirement For A Blepharoplasty?
There is no age restriction because eyelid surgery can be done for cosmetic purposes only. Although the ideal age range for patients is between their late 30s and early 60s, with 50+ being the sweet spot, younger people are increasingly requesting the procedure. Eyelid lifting procedure Dubai has grown popular among younger adults looking for proactive solutions. Not only has the work-from-home Zoom culture increased our awareness of our facial features, but blepharoplasties are now seen as a prophylactic “maintenance” procedure. People of all ages who get eyelid surgery seem more rested and have broader, brighter eyes. Although it’s great to start preventative cosmetic procedures early, younger candidates should be aware that they will probably require a repeat procedure in ten to fifteen years.
How Does The Surgeon Perform An Eyelid Lift? What Should Patients Expect?
Blepharoplasties can be performed on either the under-eye region, the upper eyelid, or both, according to the patient’s preference. Lower eyelid surgery Dubai is performed with incisions inside the lower lid for scar-free results. To tighten the underlying muscles and remove extra skin and tissue, the surgeon will make incisions inside the natural crease. Lower eyelid surgery has no visible scars because the incision is made inside the eyelid. Dr. Hanan executes painstaking blepharoplasties, closing wounds with exact suturing methods to reduce stress and suffering. Eyelid lift Dubai can be combined with other procedures, such as facelifts or eyebrow lifts.
The whole process takes around an hour under general anesthesia. Patients meet with the doctor for a consultation before eye bag removal surgery Dubai to discuss realistic outcomes. To check for blind spots in the peripheral vision, measure the patient’s eye size, and assess tear production, an eye exam is necessary. After surgery, patients should locate a caregiver to help, and the doctor gives pre- and post-operative instructions.
What Will Blepharoplasty Recovery Look Like?
Blepharoplasty recovery Dubai usually involves swelling and bruising that subside in a few days. Staff will check the patient for issues right after surgery; common short-term side effects include watery eyes, double vision, light sensitivity, and blurred vision from the lubricating ointment. After surgery, patients usually feel discomfort and edema, which go away in a few days. Patients observe complete benefits after three months, with the first healing time lasting around four days.
Patients are advised to apply any recommended eye drops or ointments as well as cold packs to minimize swelling as they heal. Blepharoplasty before and after Dubai results show significant eye rejuvenation. The skin of the eyelids will be shielded from the sun and wind by sunglasses. For a week, patients should not engage in any physically demanding activities, touch their eyes, smoke, or use contact lenses.
Are There Risks To Blepharoplasties?
As with other surgeries, there is a chance of scarring, infection, and blood clots. Finding a board-certified, skilled surgeon who has a track record of successful procedures lowers the chance of problems considerably. Best blepharoplasty surgeons Dubai help minimize such risks through careful planning and technique. Other dangers consist of:
- Discoloration of the skin
- Having trouble shutting your eyes
- Dry eyes
- Injury to the eye muscles
- momentary visual impairment
- Impairment of vision
Are There Non-Invasive Blepharoplasty Options?
There are non-invasive ways to address mild drooping and sagging in the eyes for those who want to rejuvenate their eyes without having surgery. Alternatives such as non-surgical brow lifts and other injectable procedures are provided by Dr. Hanan. Patients who want to address small issues around their eyes can benefit greatly from non-surgical methods, but blepharoplasty provides the most efficient and durable outcomes.
