LOWER EYELID SURGERY
The lower eyelid denotes the area of the eye that opens out to the cheek. It extends 2-3 mm below the bones that create the eyeball’s floor. With aging, the first wrinkles appear around the corners of the eyes and the bottom of the lower eyelashes. The lower eyelid-cheek transition becomes visible with the downward migration of the middle face. The structures on and beneath the lower eyelid begin to relax and herniate outward, resulting in ‘under-eye bags.’ The large and droopy look of the lower eyelid makes us appear exhausted, melancholy, and aged.
The lower eyelid is placed at the bottom of the colored area of the eye. It loses its tension and awning appearance as it ages, and the white component of the eye appears from the bottom half of the colored area. This indicates that the lower eyelid is weaker and should be maintained.
The lower eyelid and the middle face are viewed as a single entity. Interventions merely on the lid are frequently insufficient in the regeneration of the lower eyelid. Repositioning or surgeries such as filling may be required to support the midface.
The skin on the lower eyelids thins with age. As a result, the veins beneath become more visible. Depending on the person’s skin structure, darkening of the lower eyelid can also be noticed. Thinning skin not only helps to relieve stress, but it also adds to the formation of dark circles beneath the eyes. Furthermore, the soft tissues around the eyeball shrink and move lower throughout time. As a result, the inner sections of the lower eyelids depressed and remain in the shade. The bruising around the eyes grow more visible.
Lower Eyelid SURGERY is a term used to describe the aesthetics of the lower eyelids.
Lower eyelid SURGERY is a surgical treatment used to maintain the lower eyelid, which has lost tension and resistance and has begun to lose function, and to get a more youthful, active, and refreshed appearance.
Who Is Lower Eyelid SURGERY Used On?
Lower eyelid SURGERY can be used on patients over the age of 18 who are in good health, can get local or general anesthesia, and desire to improve their appearance under the eyes.
Lower Eyelid SURGERY: How Is It Performed?
The lower eyelid is made up of multiple layers as well as the structure that supports it. The problem can virtually always be solved based on the patient’s age, desire, and availability.
If there are wrinkles and aging on the skin, Mesotherapy procedures, that is, methods that improve skin quality and promote collagen production applied to the middle layer of the skin, can help. Botox can be used to treat wrinkles if they are bothering you. Botox, on the other hand, is a more effective technique around the eyes. It may create clumping on the outside area of the lower eyelid and cheek passage if not applied evenly, making the lines more prominent. In addition, weakness of the muscles around the eyes in a wide region may disrupt lymph circulation, leading to the development or worsening of under-eye bags.
Fillers are commonly utilized to blur the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek region. However, if it is not applied to the correct layer, it might produceS blue perceived light refraction under the eyes and makeS DARK CIRCLES look larger. In certain people, it might also impairS lymph circulation and produceS edema. In most cases, unpleasant swellings do not appear following the proper filling application.
Lower eyelid SURGERY can be performed by accessing the eyelid from the inside or from the bottom of the lashes. If superfluous skin must be removed, an incision from the bottom of the eyelash is preferable. If it enters the eyelid from the inside, there will be no trace. It is not believed that an incision made from the bottom of the eyelash would be seen since the scar will remain in the shade. Soft tissue hernias that generate bags beneath the eyes are corrected, and the lower eyelid is pulled taut. It is normally sustained by hanging up and outward from the eye’s outer corners. If the drooping of the lower eyelid is severe and causes the eye to remain open, an intervention that will leave a short and transverse scar on the outer third of the lower eyelid may be necessary.
Lower eyelid SURGERY is frequently combined with upper eyelid SURGERY and mid-face lift surgery. The midface is essential for supporting the lower eyelid. On the face, this is the first place to droop. If the cheekbones and maxillary bones of the midface are pushed back, the midface will be weak. The ability of bone structures to hold up soft tissues is dependent on their ability to sustain themselves. If there is a lack in bone structures, it may be essential to support it using bone implants.
If lower eyelid SURGERY IS being done in conjunction with other procedures, it may be preferable to do so under general anesthesia. However, it frequently APPLIED UNDER local ANESTHESIA. Following the operation, a suture that holds the lower eyelid upright may be required. This suture is normally removed after 3-7 days in this scenario. Permanent skin sutures are removed after 5-7 days if they are utilized for the procedure.
What is the purpose of lower eyelid SURGERY?
Lower eyelid SURGERY is used FOR make our weary, sleepless, and aged faces look more energetic, fresh, and dynamic. It is also used FOR support the lower eyelid, which has begun to lose its function. As a result, the lower eyelid is attempting to be cleansed of the negative effects of time.
What is the Recovery Time Following Lower Eyelid SURGERY?
When lower eyelid SURGERY is performed under general anesthesia, the patient is generally discharged the following day after one night in the hospital. Water should not come into contact with the incision sites for the first 48 hours. Because the eye region is so delicate, there is a substantial risk of bruising and edema. It is likely to vanish in approximately 10 days as it moves downhill. A massage treatment that begins early and continues for at least one month is required to avoid lower eyelid shortening and to prevent the eyelid from remaining openING after lower eyelid SURGERY. Massage will lessen the chance of adhesions and lower eyelid movement outward and downward. Edema may impair the nerves leading to the muscle that closes the lower eyelid after lower eyelid SURGERY. It may take up to three months for the muscle to recover its function.
If an external incision is used for the lower eyelid cosmetic and permanent skin stitches are selected, it is removed after 5-7 days. It should be noted that if lower eyelid SURGERY is used in conjunction with other procedures, the HEALING PERIOD will take longer. The ultimate contour of the eyelid takes roughly 3-6 months.
