A brief introduction to eyelid surgery and its contraindications

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and a pair of clear, bright big eyes will undoubtedly add greatly to your beauty! Having a pair of big, bling bling eyes is something many people dream of. Blepharoplasty is a type of eye plastic surgery, which usually includes two methods: inner canthus opening and outer canthus opening. The inner and outer canthus of the eyes are corrected and enlarged through surgery, so that you can have a pair of beautiful big eyes! The following is an introduction to eyelid surgery and its contraindications.

1. Eyelid surgery method

1. Open eyelid surgery

The incision method is a method of cutting the eyelid, removing the muscle and fat, and removing the loose skin as needed, and then connecting the dermis to the levator palpebrae superioris muscle that supports the eyelid. The stitches can be removed 3-5 days after the operation, and you can resume your daily life 1 week after the operation.

2. Buried suture eyelid surgery

A method of creating double eyelids without cutting the skin, but only using a suture to fix a few places along the drawn double eyelid line. Buried suture eyelid surgery is suitable for monolids with thin eyelid skin and thin orbicularis oculi muscle, monolids without Mongolian wrinkles and sagging eyelid skin.

3. One-line continuous suture method for eyelid surgery

A double eyelid surgery is performed by embedding a suture into the muscle and performing multiple embeddings.

4. Partial incision eyelid surgery

Sutured eyelid surgery is suitable for those with thin eyelids, less fat, and no severe eyelid sagging. Selecting appropriate patients and carefully suturing with three stitches can usually achieve satisfactory results. The advantages of suture surgery are shorter recovery period and less swelling and bruising. After blepharoplasty, the swelling on both sides of the eyelids is usually not the same, so there may be temporary asymmetry, which will return to symmetry after full recovery.

2. Contraindications of eyelid surgery

2. People with severe scarring or abnormal coagulation mechanism should inform their doctor in advance.

3. If there is an infection inside or outside the eye, the disease should be cured before surgery.

4. Patients who have been allergic to local anesthetics or have an anesthetic resistance during previous surgeries should inform the surgeon.

5. If you know that the surgery will not achieve the desired results, you should be cautious.

6. It is not recommended for children under 13 years old to undergo blepharoplasty for purely cosmetic purposes.

7. Those who have some infectious disease, mental illness, or mental disorder or instability.

8. Those who have too high expectations for the surgery, are not mentally prepared enough, or have unrealistic demands are not suitable for plastic surgery.
