Upper blepharoplasty: features of the operation

Upper Blepharoplasty – This is a surgical intervention in which the surgical correction of the upper eyelid area is performed. According to the experts of the clinic Medical Club, where such operations are performed almost daily, blepharoplasty is one of the most frequently performed among the many aesthetic corrections. With age, under the influence of gravity, the layers of the face tend to fall, this also applies to the skin on the upper eyelid. Quite often, young people who have too heavy, overhanging eyelids apply for correction of this area. Upper blepharoplasty helps to eliminate such defects as effectively as possible.

What problems can be solved with upper blepharoplasty

The surgeons of the clinic Medical Club are sure that age-related changes in the upper eyelid area cannot be considered in isolation, which is why upper blepharoplasty as an independent surgical intervention is rarely performed. Often it is an addition to endoscopic fronto-temporal lifting, and helps to solve the following problems:

• removal of upper dermachalasis – excess skin on the upper eyelid;
• formation of a deeper palpebral sulcus;
• decrease in the volume of retroseptal tissue or elimination of the A-shaped retraction;
• correction of the position of the ciliary edge of the eyelid;
• weakening of the activity of the glabella muscles, lifting and fixation of the tails of the eyebrows, modeling of the upper-lateral edge of the orbit.

Sequence of steps for upper blepharoplasty

Incision marking for upper blepharoplasty is performed on the operating table, immediately prior to surgery. Three key points of the lower incision are determined along the central pupillary line, in the projection of the lateral angle of the eye, as well as the superior lacrimal opening. The distance from the incision to the lateral corner of the eye is often 5 mm; along the center line of the pupil – 9 mm., in the projection of the lacrimal opening also 5 mm. From the lateral point, the incision extends tangentially along one of the wrinkles to the lateral edge of the orbit. After that, in the position of closed eyelids, resection of excess skin, manipulations with the circular muscle and retroseptal fat, and suturing are performed.

Peculiarities of management of the postoperative period of upper blepharoplasty

The management of the postoperative period after upper blepharoplasty has its own characteristics. In standard situations, the specialists of the Medical Club clinic recommend the use of local agents that reduce tissue swelling, drugs that protect the cornea from drying out, and antibacterial drugs if necessary. Lymphatic drainage procedures are often used. Highly effective is local hypothermia in the first three days after surgery. On the third day after the operation, the sutures are removed, and the patient can already evaluate the effect. With proper performance of the upper blepharoplasty, it is possible to achieve the maximum aesthetic effect.
