眼睑提拉术 EYELID

眼睛周围的皮肤是人体最薄的,所以通常是我们衰老时最先出现的部位。有些人可能会出现皱纹,但其他人可能会出现更明显的变化,如眼睑下垂、眼袋和皮肤过多。

预约面诊

The skin around the eyes is the thinnest in the body, so this is often the first area when we age. While some may experience wrinkling, others may experience more significant changes such as drooping eyelids, eye bags and excess skin.

Eyelid Surgery Eyelid Surgery

In some cases, the drooping of the lid may get to a point where it affects vision as folds of the skin make it harder to open the eyes fully.

For those looking to minimise the signs of age around this area, an eye lift or eyelid surgery may be an option..

The upper eyelid can be reduced and lifted, with the scar being hidden in the crease above the eyelid.

Lower eyelids are more difficult to achieve technically because of the junction between the lower eyelid, cheek skin and underlying structures. We’ll talk to you about techniques to address sagging tissues and place scars in hidden areas, however generally no surgery is required

It’s important to note that people of any age can suffer from conditions such as puffiness, eyebags or droopy lids, and other factors besides age can play a part in the appearance and elasticity of your skin. This can include lifestyle, sun damage, exposure to the environment and genetics.

That’s why we see patients from many age groups seeking treatment options. The first step is to consult an experienced cosmetic doctor from The Doctors’ Studio.

Q & A Q & A

01

What is Blepharoplasty? What is Blepharoplasty?

accordion arrow

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and muscle from the upper eyelids. Eyelid surgery cannot stop the process of ageing. It can, however, diminish the look of loose skin and bagginess in the eyelid region. It can also help improve vision in older patients who have a hooding of their upper eyelids.

Although it can add an upper eyelid crease to the Asian eyelid, it will not erase evidence of one’s racial or ethnic heritage. Blepharoplasty will not remove crow’s feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under the eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows.

Are there alternative treatments? Are there alternative treatments?

Alternative management forms include not treating the skin laxness and bagginess in the eyelids by surgery. Improvement of skin laxness, fatty deposits and skin wrinkles may be accomplished by other treatments or surgery such as a brow lift when indicated.

Other forms of eyelid surgery may be needed should you have disorders affecting the function of the eyelid, such as drooping eyelids from muscle problems (eyelid ptosis) or looseness between the eyelid and eyeball (ectropion). Minor skin wrinkling may be improved through chemical skin peels, laser resurfacing, or other skin treatments. Risks and potential complications are associated with alternative surgical forms of treatment.

What are the risks involved? What are the risks involved?

Making the decision to have cosmetic surgery is a serious one, and patients considering a procedure should also keep in mind that they need time to recover, they will need support, and possibly time off work. They may also need other therapies such as massage and compression garments.

During your consultation we will discuss the range of options available to you and recommend treatments that have the best chance of achieving your desired goals. Part of this conversation will cover, in more detail, the types of complications and risks that apply to your specific circumstances. In general, the risks and complications of surgery are:

• disappointing aesthetic outcome
• infection
• bleeding
• scarring
• significant asymmetry (a large difference between sides)
• pain
• change in skin sensation (eg. numbness)
• allergic reaction
• anaesthetic complications
• prolonged recover and wound healing
• collections of fluid

All of these may result in the need for further treatment or surgery.
