Eyelid Surgery in Mumbai: Say Goodbye to Puffy Eyes with Confidence

Exploring Different Techniques in Blepharoplasty Surgery

Functional Approaches in Blepharoplasty: Enhancing Eye Functionality

• Functional Blepharoplasty: If the patient is unable to see properly due to drooping eyelids, then a functional blepharoplasty should be done to help them see better again.

• Cosmetic Blepharoplasty: Cosmetic eyelid surgery is a procedure that can be done to enhance your eyes when you have droopy or saggy lids. The effects will make them look younger and more inviting than before.

Location-Based Techniques: Customizing Treatment for Upper and Lower Eyelids

• Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Upper blepharoplasty can be done for functional reasons like when the fat and muscle in your eyelid might affect what you see. It is also common to undergo upper blepharoplasty when you have lash ptosis or laxity that makes vision difficult or orbicularis hypertrophy.

• Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Lower eyelid surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure that eliminates fat bulges and extra sagging skin around the lower eyelid to help improve one’s appearance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Blepharoplasty Procedure: Understanding the Surgical Process

The general procedure for eyelid lift surgery is as follows:

• Local anesthesia is used to numb the sensation around the eyes first. In some instances, general anesthesia may be given when several cosmetic procedures are planned for a patient together with blepharoplasty.
• In the second stage, cuts or incisions are made on the eyelids.
• If the patient has drooping eyelids or excessive skin on the upper eyelids, hanging skin on the eyelids, and/or excess tissue on top of the eye, an upper eyelid surgery is necessary. An incision is made along natural creases in the top eyelid and extra skin and sometimes fat are removed from the upper eyelid. This helps to reduce eyelid heaviness as well as aesthetic and functional issues caused by it. In some circumstances, in order to restore the normal position and form of the eyelid, the skin on and around the eyelid is tightened.
• The lower eyelid surgery is done when the patient has too much skin or fat on their lower eyelids. The incision is made in the natural folds of the eyelid to remove or slim down excessive skin and fat pockets. Because incisions are made following natural contours of the eyes in this procedure, the difference in appearance following surgery is dramatic, and many individuals improve their appearance or look by combining lower eyelid surgery with other aesthetic surgical procedures.
• The combination surgery, which is upper eyelid surgery in combination with lower eyelid surgery, is performed in some situations where the patient is seeking complete eye rejuvenation or has significant cosmetic difficulties due to functional problems.
• Double eyelid surgery is a variant/form of blepharoplasty, but it is distinct from regular blepharoplasty. In a typical blepharoplasty, the extra skin and fat are removed from the top, lower, or both eyelids. However, in a double-eyelid procedure, the primary goal is to generate double eyelids. As a result, the sutures that form the creases and folds in the upper eyelids are minimal, and the skin removal is kept to a bare minimum. Many individuals choose this procedure for its obvious eyelid fold and lifted eye appearance for a younger look.

Navigating Your Recovery After Blepharoplasty: Tips for a Smooth Healing Process

• Dr. Vashisht Dikshit may advise you to keep your head raised for several days and to apply ice packs to reduce swelling and bruising (bruising varies from person to person; it peaks during the first week and usually lasts between 2 weeks to a month).
• You’ll be shown how to clean out your eyes, which may take a few days to get used to. Many doctors recommend eye ointments because your eyelids may feel scratchy at first and your eyes might hurt or itch.
• For the first few days, you may also experience increased tearing, sensitivity to light (such as when you look at bright lights), and temporary changes in your vision, such as blurring.
• Dr. Vashisht Dikshit will be watching your progress closely for the first week and up to 10 days. Your stitches will be removed two to seven days after surgery. As soon as they’re out of your eye, the swelling and discolor­ation around your eyes will slowly subside, and you’ll start to look and feel a lot better.
• After two or three days, you should be able to read books or watch TV. But you shouldn’t wear contacts for about two weeks, at least not right away. And even after that, they might feel uncomfortable for a while until your eyes adjust.
• Most people feel ready for public exposure and work after one to two weeks. After that, depending on the rate at which you heal and Dr. Vashisht Dikshit ’s instructions, you‘ll probably be able to put on makeup to cover up any remaining bruises.
• You may be sensitive for several weeks after exposure to sunlight, wind, or other irritants, so you should wear glasses and a special sunscreen lotion for your eyes when you go outside.
• Dr. Vashisht Dikshit will likely advise you to rest for three to five days after your surgery and to avoid any strenuous activity for about three weeks. It’s especially important to avoid activities like bending, lifting, and vigorous sports that raise your blood pressure. You may also be advised not to drink alcohol because it causes fluid retention.
