Lower blepharoplasty is indicated in those patients who have excess skin or protrusion of fatty bags on their lower eyelids, generating bags, wrinkles and dark circles, which can cause discomfort both aesthetically and visually.
Prior to the lower eyelid operation, it is necessary to carry out a medical consultation and a series of tests to determine that the candidate meets the necessary requirements to undergo this surgery, ruling out any contraindications.
The operation takes about 30 minutes for each operated eyelid.
No, blepharoplasty is performed using the technique known as "conscious sedation" in which the patient is in a reverie state, in such a way that they are not aware of what is happening around them even if they are awake.
Recovery from lower blepharoplasty is rapid and progressive. From the first day you can see how the discomfort caused by the excess tissues of the lower eyelids is reduced. The patient must follow the ophthalmologist's instructions so that the bruising and inflammation that may arise as a result of the operation progressively diminish.
Throughout the first week, it is advisable to rest and avoid sports. After the second week, the patient will greatly notice the comfort and an obvious aesthetic change.
After the first week, you can start using concealer for dark circles or any makeup that has been tested to hide possible bruises that may appear on the lower eyelids.
