Eyelid Surgery – Blepharoplasty

The aesthetic importance of eyes cannot be undermined. When you look at a person’s face, the first thing you notice about them is their eyes. You may not be blessed with a gorgeous pair of eyes or perhaps as a consequence of aging, the youthful appearance of your eyes might have faded. But worry not, because eyelid surgery offers a solution to your problems. Eyelid surgery also known as Blepharoplasty, removes extra fat around your eyes to make you look younger. It can effectively improve the appearance of your eyes by eradicating visible signs of aging on your upper and lower eyelids.

Alternate Treatments

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty in Dubai, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. Non-surgical options that eradicate visible signs of aging around the eyes are also available. These options are:

Blepharoplasty Dubai can be performed using various techniques which include:

• Upper eyelid surgery: It is performed on upper eyelids to remove the sagging skin, excess fat and lines.
• Lower eyelid surgery: It is performed on lower eyelids to remove puffiness, fine lines and under-eye bags.
• Combined upper and lower eyelid surgery: When surgery is performed on both the eyelids simultaneously, it is called combined upper and lower blepharoplasty.

Pre-op Preparation

During your pre-op visit, our plastic surgeon will review your medical history, discuss the options available and guide you about the process. He will also provide a thorough list of pre-surgical instructions. Some steps that you will have to take prior to surgery are:

Eyelid Surgery Procedure

The latest procedure of Blepharoplasty in Dubai is performed on an outpatient basis and it may take up to three hours. Following is the step-by-step description of the surgery.

• The first step of the procedure is the administration of anesthesia. It is mostly performed under local anesthesia but general anesthesia can also be used as an option.
• Then the surgeon will make an incision at a suitable site depending on the type of surgery.
  • For upper eyelid surgery, the incision is made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid.
