Blepharoplasty at Obesity & Aesthetic Surgery in Tunisia
Also called eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty is an aesthetic surgery intervention that aims to improve the appearance of the eyelids, giving a youthful look to the face, more particularly around the eyes. In our surgery in Sousse, blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids or both. The medical procedure is usually to reduce excess skin on the eyelid.
What problems does blepharoplasty treat?
- Sagging skin (less elastic skin) which creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision.
- The fatty deposits that appear as bags in the eyelids.
- Bags under the eyes due to swollen eyelids.
- The drooping lower eyelids which can risk the protection of the eyes.
Intervention
Blepharoplasty is generally performed under local anesthesia
For the operation on the upper eyelids : it is a question of eliminating the excess of eyelid skin but sometimes also the pocket of internal fat. The scar is located at the level of the upper eyelid fold so that it is invisible.
For the operation on the lower eyelids: this is the treatment of fat pockets located under the eye. The incision is made 1 to 2 minutes under the eyelashes.
The duration of the intervention is one hour.
The patient should be bonded to the eyes during the first night of hospital stay.
