Among the many methods of skin rejuvenation around the eyes, laser blepharoplasty is especially popular. It is in the eye area that age-related changes appear first of all, and patients already at a fairly young age wish to apply an effective method for eliminating the resulting wrinkles. Since conservative methods are not always effective against wrinkles in the periorbital region, and surgical methods frighten patients with their trauma, laser rejuvenation is the method of choice for many of them. But even skin resurfacing with a laser has its drawbacks, and threatens the patient with the occurrence of certain complications, which every doctor who performs this procedure must be aware of.

Advantages and disadvantages of laser blepharoplasty

The concept of "lower blepharoplasty" combines a fairly large group of surgical interventions that are performed on the tissues of the lower eyelid and periorbital. All of them are united by one goal: elimination of skin wrinkles, improvement of the relief and tone of the circular muscle of the eye, as well as correction of the relief of the suborbital zone.

Laser blepharoplasty – this is a type of surgical operation in which the superficial layer of the skin is removed under the influence of a laser beam.

With the subsequent healing of the formed wound, the microrelief of the treated area of ​​the skin improves, and the number and depth of skin wrinkles also decrease. This procedure is somewhat traumatic for the patient, so be aware of the possible risks.

What complications can occur after laser blepharoplasty

Complications of laser blepharoplasty are primarily associated with improper procedure performance, as well as poor postoperative care. The main complications of laser skin resurfacing of the eyelids include:

  • conjunctivitis – can occur as a result of intraoperative irritation of the conjunctiva, as well as when ointments that are used in the postoperative period get on the surface of the eyeball. The inflammatory process is usually mild and responds well to treatment;
  • skin hyperpigmentation – occurs predominantly in patients with a tendency to hyperpigmentation and is eliminated with whitening creams and lightening procedures;
  • allergic dermatitis – occurs extremely rarely, often in patients with a burdened allergic history, and requires the use of desensitizing and  corticosteroid drugs;
  • wound infection – occurs as a result of non-compliance with the rules of asepsis and antisepsis during surgery and in the postoperative period. The infectious process in most cases is quickly stopped by the use of antibacterial drugs.

The main advantages of laser blepharoplasty

Laser blepharoplasty is one of the most effective methods for correcting skin wrinkles. The main benefits of this procedure include:

  • good results in the correction of skin wrinkles, which in most patients persist for at least a year and a half;
  • saving the effect of skin rejuvenation for several years in patients who have relatively thick skin;
  • with proper selection of patients and proper use of the – absence of severe complications of an aesthetic and functional nature;
  • the possibility of combining laser blepharoplasty with tissue lifting and blepharoplasty;
  • simplicity and short duration of surgery.

The main disadvantages of laser blepharoplasty

Laser blepharoplasty, like other surgical methods for correcting age-related changes, has some disadvantages. The main ones are:

  • when laser skin rejuvenation is combined with blepharoplasty and tissue lifting, the early rehabilitation period is significantly more complicated;
  • relatively high incidence of local postoperative complications, which in most cases are easily eliminated with adequate therapy;
  • the need for careful selection and preoperative preparation of patients;
  • the need to have a cosmetology base and participation in the treatment process of a cosmetologist.

It is important to note that in most cases, laser blepharoplasty allows you to achieve the desired effect of rejuvenation for a fairly long time.

Careful selection of patients, compliance with all recommendations and techniques during the operation, as well as a competent approach to the patient in the postoperative period are a guarantee of achieving a good effect after laser blepharoplasty.
