The eye area is often the first area to reveal signs of our true age. Eyelid surgery (or blepharoplasty) at Möcelle Edan Cosmetic Clinics is the perfect solution for younger-looking eyes. A blepharoplasty is great for removing bags, correcting sagging eyelids, removing excess skin, and minimizing eye wrinkles. Many men and women benefit from this effective procedure.
HOW LONG DOES THE BLEPHAROPLASTY PROCEDURE TAKE?
A routine blepharoplasty generally takes 1 to 1-1/2 hours to complete. Any scars should be almost invisible in 2 - 3 weeks, and final eyelid surgery results are noticeable within 2 months. Remember, everyone heals at their own pace. Your Möcelle Edan plastic surgeon will discuss your expected recovery progression with you during your confidential eyelid surgery consultation.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS INVOLVED WITH BLEPHAROPLASTY?
At Möcelle Edan, we strive daily to reduce our patients' degree of risk with blepharoplasty through updated technology, Rigorous Staffing Standards, and careful adherence to safety regulations. We take every precaution necessary to make sure each patient is in a safe and sterile environment. Although serious complications are rare following eyelid surgery, potential risks include temporary downward displacement of the lower eyelid, unfavorable healing, excess scar tissue, infection, excess swelling and discoloration, corneal abrasion, anesthesia reaction, tearing, and scarring.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BLEPHAROPLASTY PROCEDURE?
Typical during a blepharoplasty procedure, your Mocelle Edan plastic surgeon will place small incisions around the eyes in facial folds. Our plastic surgeon then removes the excess eyelid skin, muscle tissue and fat tissue for a firmer, younger appearance. Drooping eyelids and tired, puffy eyes are instantly rejuvenated with the excision of the extra skin and tissue. Depending on your goals, your Möcelle Edan plastic surgeon can perform an upper eyelid excision, or lower eyelid excision, or both if needed.
Will I be able to see right away and are there any bandages?
Except for occassional watery eyes, your vision is usually unaffected. No bandages are typically needed, although your Möcelle Edan plastic surgeon may be asked to wear some protective shields over the eyes at bedtime for the first week.
