Eyelid surgery Ireland

Ageing around the eyes is associated with the formation of excess skin folds and eye bags. Eye bags are especially seen in the inner or medial parts of the upper eyelid and along the length of the lower eyelid. The aim of eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), otherwise known as eye bag removal is to reduce the excess eyelid skin and to flatten/remove the eye bags. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can be carried out separately on the upper or lower eyelids or both upper and lower eyelids together. The Dublin Cosmetic Surgery Centre has successfully performed eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) on many women and men in over 20 years.

EYELIDCORRECTION (BLEPHAROPLASTY) The eyes are the mirror of your face. Excessskin and folds on the upper eyelids or baggy eyelids give the impression ofpermanent fatigue. Upper and/or lower eyelid surgery can return that opensparkling regard, that you once knew. This sort of procedure isactually in the “hit parade” of the 3 most frequently carried outplastic surgery operations. Whathappens?Upper eyelidsDuring the operation, the surgeon removes the excess skin which is draggingyour eyelids down. This is done through a fine incision in your natural crease,which leaves an almost invisible scar. Lower eyelidsBags under the eyes are often caused by pockets of fat and are usuallyaccompanied by an excess of skin. The operation involves removing the fat bagsand excess skin through an incision made just under the eyelashes or atthe inner side of the eyelid, which means that there is no visiblescar.  AnestheticMost of the time a local anesthetic  issufficient. Although, it is possible to sedate a nervous patient, and ifnecessary put them completely to sleep. RecoveryAfter surgery, you will need to rest forapproximately one hour before returning to the hotel. You will not be able todrive immediately following surgery. Some medication will be prescribed(Ibuprofen and paracetamol) which you will be able to take in case of pain. Theday following surgery, you can expect your eyes to be swollen and watery, inaddition your vision may be blurred and reduced. Bruising should subside aftera week or so (for upper eyelids), but can take slightly longer when both upperand lower eyelids have been operated on. It is advisable to wear sunglasses when you go outside, and indoors ice-packsand gel masks can help to sooth the eyes and reduce swelling (although notscientifically proven). Your scars will be slightly

Eyes are the mirror of the face. Drooping eyelids and heavy bags can make you seem older and tired. Upper and/or lower eyelid surgery can restore that fresh, sparkling appearance you once had. Eyelid correction is actually one of the three most frequently carried out procedures in plastic surgery. During the operation, the surgeon removes excess skin and fatty tissue via a fine incision in your natural eye crease, which leaves an almost invisible scar.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove excess skin or fatty deposits from the eyelids. This procedure restores a youthful and refreshed appearance to one’s face. Following this surgery, the face becomes obviously rejuvenated. The upper and lower eyelids can be corrected either during the same procedure or separately.How Is the Surgery Performed?The procedure is often performed under local anesthesia, and time in surgery is about 1 hour.For upper eyelid surgery, an incision is made along the fold of the upper eyelid, following its natural contour. Through a parallel incision (the second one), excess skin is removed. During the surgery, fatty deposits can be removed as well.During lower eyelid surgery, fatty deposits can be removed or redistributed. An incision most commonly is placed inside the lower eyelid (so-called transconjunctival approach); thus, this technique requires no external incision.What Should Be Known After Surgery? Following the surgery, due to swelling, some patients may experience difficulties closing their eyes, which may cause dry eye syndrome. Artificial tears or lubricating ointment relieve this complication.Temporarily impaired vision can persist up to a few days.The stitches are removed after 4–7 days.After 2 weeks, the scars become barely visible. The bruising usually disappears within several weeks, while the swelling can persist longer.
