The
principle of the intervention
The intervention purpose is to eliminate the skin and fat excess
at the level of the upper and lower eyelids.
This skin and fat excess leads to the diminution of the visual
field by dropping over the palpebral slit. It also leads to
the apparitions of wrinkles and eye bags especially on the lower
eyelid, giving a tired aspect to the physiognomy. Its cause
is mainly the ageing process manifested through the reduction
of the skin elasticity; other causes are the changes of the
periorbital fat and the action of the solar radiation over the
periorbital teguments. Outside the external edge, horizontal
wrinkles are formed with a centrifugal look; they are also named
“crow's foot” wrinkles. These wrinkles are accentuated
with age, as a result of the action of the muscle subjacent
to the orbicular muscle of the eyelid.
The fat of the eyelids is a very well vascularized and innervated
tissue, and as a consequence it is very sensible to hormonal
and emotional modifications. This fact accentuates the forming
and the maintenance of the eye bags.
The intervention eliminates the tired look that is given by
the lower and upper eyelid bags. Postoperatory, the look gains
luminosity and vividness and the physiognomy becomes lighter
and younger. This intervention can be performed independently
or after a facial lifting, for completing the result.
Remember!
The intervention corrects bags and redundant tegument of the
periorbital zone. After the intervention the edemas and the
ecchymoses are constant and significant, but they disappear
in 4-5 days.
Some discreet, almost inexistent scars will remain after the
intervention. The field of vision is significantly improved
and the physiognomy gains a tonic, light look.
This intervention is addressed to both sexes, with no age
limit.
The physiognomy, which is important in the “public relations”
domain, becomes more convincing; the look becomes more mobile,
and the behavior more confident.
Analysis
The minimum analysis necessary before the operation: White
blood hemogram, Coagulation tests, Glycemia.
About the intervention
It is a relatively easy intervention both for the doctor and
for the patient. The intervention takes place under local
anesthesia, it lasts about 1-2 hours and the hospitalization
is not necessary.
In order to achieve a long term result the eyelid skin excess,
that is associated with the eyebrow ptosis, requires the correction
as well as the lifting of the eyebrow.
Immediately after the intervention, in the next 2-3 hours,
cold local applications will be placed on, to prevent the
edema and the ecchymoses.
No bandages should be applied, but sterile adhesive tapes.
The stitches are removed after 4-6 postoperatory days; the
edemas and the ecchymoses are significantly reduced after
4-5 days and fade after in about 10-14 days after the intervention.
The results of the intervention last for about 10 years.
About the complications
There are no complications. Treatable complications are mentioned
in the literature: subconjuctive hemorrhage, conjunctivitis,
epiphora, eyelid ectropion, the lower eyelids dyschromia,
the affection, in different extent, of the eye sight.
Recommendations
Social and professional responsibilities can be resumed after
3-4 postoperatory days. Sunglasses will be worn both for protection
and for aesthetic reasons.
Postoperatory cosmetic procedures should be avoided for about
4 weeks.
The final result of the intervention can be evaluated after
approximately 3 postoperatory months.
When the hygienic care is resumed, it is recommended to use
a mild shampoo. The hair dying can be resumed after 8 weeks,
using quality cosmetic products, less acrid.
The protection from solar radiation is necessary for about
3 months.
