According to statistics, in the world, up to 1.5 million blophipoplasty per year is held annually. In men, this intervention is in the first place in the number of appeals, in women - on the second, inferior to rhinoplasty. Blephaffelasty helps to solve both age problems of patients and aesthetic. With its help, you can get rid of the onset of the upper eyelid, PTOs, the so-called "tired / sullen" view, wrinkles in the periorebital area, bags and bruises under the eyes, hernia of the lower eyelid, and also change the cut of the eyes, their shape and size. Surgical intervention helps for a long time to solve the issues of rejuvenation in this zone, making a look more open.
Blerioplasty is carried out in several ways: surgical and non-surgical. The latter, in turn, are divided into injective (Botox, mesotherapy, biorevialization, the introduction of filler) and hardware intervention methods. And if the injection methods are designed primarily to smooth out minor wrinkles, then the hardware is aimed at the suspension of the skin. We are talking about such techniques, like RF-lifting, thermal, laser rejuvenation, ultrasonic lifting, microcurrent therapy against swelling under the eyes. However, despite the fact that all these techniques give good results of rejuvenation and suspenders, their ability is limited. Yes, and these techniques are suitable only in cases where there is no pronounced ptosis or swelling are not caused by the presence of hernia of the lower eyelid. The resulting result in any case will be temporary, so many patients prefer to solve the problem of rejuvenation dramatically, contacting the plastic surgeon.

To date, we can talk about several ways to conduct operational intervention:
Upper blepharoplasty It implies excision of excess skin and adipose tissue in the region of the upper eyelid. The incision is made through the natural fold of the skin, so the seam from the operation later remains visually inconsistent. The time operation takes no more than 1-1.5 hours. It is carried out under local anesthesia or under general anesthesia - at the request of the patient. After the intervention, the patient remains under the supervision of a surgeon and medical personnel (1-2 hours a maximum) and is released home with a list of necessary recommendations and strips on the bridge, temples and upper eyelids. Seams after the upper blepharoplasty are filmed for 3-7 days. You can return to a conventional lifestyle if you wish for 2-3 days after intervention. For the period of rehabilitation, wearing lenses are not allowed, the use of decorative cosmetics.
Lower blepharoplasty - Interference is more jewelry and complex, requiring a certain skill requiring a surgeon, because the incision during the operation is made on the line where the eyelashes are growing. Otherwise, the operation is not much different from the upper blepharoplasty. In both cases, the patient is waiting for postoperative bruises and swelling. As long as it lasts, it depends primarily from the individual characteristics of the organism: the vascular grid in the periorubital region and the presence of subcutaneous fatty fiber. On average, swelling and bruises are concerned about 3-5 days.
Transconewival blepharoplasty Does not imply imposition and subsequent removal of seams ("seamless method"). This method is used most often if the patient has the hernia of the lower eyelid. The incision is made on the inside of the century (the conjunction), then the adhesive tissue is removed and the seams are superimposed, which after healing do not disturb the patient. The swelling and bruises pass by the end of the first week after the transkonuctivalnery blepharoplasty. Intervention takes from 40 minutes to an hour.
