How is Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) performed?
Before the procedure, Dr. Abdelrahman Shams evaluates the patient's condition to determine the degree of eyelid drooping and the most suitable technique. Blepharoplasty is a straightforward procedure performed as follows:
- Local Anesthesia: The eyelid area is numbed locally.
- Small Incision: A precise incision is made in the natural folds of the eyelid.
- Removal of Excess Tissue: Excess skin and fat are carefully removed.
- Muscle Repositioning: Muscle tissues are repositioned to improve their ability to support and lift the eye area.
- Lacrimal Gland Adjustment: If eyelid drooping is caused by a displaced lacrimal (tear) gland, the gland's position is corrected.
- Suturing: The incision is closed using fine cosmetic sutures to ensure no visible scarring remains.
How long is the recovery period for blepharoplasty?
The recovery period typically ranges from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the type of surgery and the patient's overall health. During this phase, the patient must maintain complete rest and strictly follow the doctor’s post-operative instructions to preserve the results of the surgery.
