Blepharoplasty or Eyelive rejuvenation is surgical procedure aimed at helping the patiens rejuvenate the area at around the eyes. Sometimes the simptoms include the lowering of the eyebrows giving the eyes the impression of being covered or cloaked or the simptoms can be assosiated with a loss of color tone of the lower eyelid giving the impression of round eye or an aged eye. The pre-op recommendations are very important for the patient to avoid complications during the procedure of during the post-opt. The Medical History is fundamental in discovering the intake of some pharmaceuticals such as Aspirin or any other medication that contains Aspirin, Vitamin E ( intervenes in the red plate count ), Retinol ( Vitamin A which interferes in the healing or normal sccarring process) Gingobilova ( It´s a vasodilatador ).It is important for the patients to have a normal blood pressure for their age and have normal blood sugar levels. The recommendation is to suspend the use of the above medications or vitamins three weeks before surgery.
The physical evaluation should be done very carefully in order to visualize the result the patient wants and expects. We must keep in mind the prominence of the malar bone and the cheekbone whit respect to the palpebral bone.
Whit a proper diagnosis these are the best alternatives for the corrective surgery:
Superior Eyelid Rejuvenation with or without raising the eyebrow.
Inferior Eyelid Rejuvenation with or without Canthoplasty.
Rejuvenation of the wrinkles around the eyes (BOTOX).
The Rejuvenation of the eyelids can be done in several ways:
1. Removal of skin, muscle and bags in the Superior eyelids with or without eyebrow elevation.
2. Removal of muscle and bags of the lower eyelids with or without Canthoplasty trying to avoid any resection of the skin.
3. Lipoinjection in the groove below the eyelids or relocate the bags (especially for sunk in eyes with large bags).
As you can see there are several possibilities and in some cases this procedure is mandatory, especially with older patients in order to achieve the best global results.
