Several years ago, blepharoplasty became the most popular procedure among girls, and all because we dream of an "open" and seductive look at 20, 40 and 70 years old. Over the years, nature takes its toll: fatty bags and overhanging skin may appear on the upper eyelid - it is at this moment that it is time to go for a consultation with a surgeon.

Blepharoplasty is an operation that is performed on the soft tissues of the upper or lower eyelids, mainly for the purpose of rejuvenation, writes Wday.ru. Recently, girls from Asian countries have often resorted to her in order to bring their appearance closer to European standards. So blepharoplasty fights not only age-related problems, but also aesthetic problems.
Types of blepharoplasty
There are several types of blepharoplasty. Upper blepharoplasty is a common operation of the upper eyelid, aimed at making the gaze open and expressive. The usual indications for such an operation are eye cuts that do not suit the client or too overhanging skin.
To remove fatty bags (they arise as a result of age-related changes) and excess skin in the lower eyelids, lower blepharoplasty is used.
Trance conjunctival blepharoplasty cannot be ignored either. This operation does not make a skin incision in the lower eyelid area, but only removes fatty hernias through a small incision in the conjunctival mucosa.
Cantopexy is an operation aimed at fixing the outer corner of the lower eyelid, with a loss of elasticity of the circular muscle of the eye. Loss of elasticity can result in drooping of the lower eyelids. The look after cantopexy becomes more expressive and fresh.
Indications for surgery, as they say, are evident, more precisely, on the face. The main symptoms are:
- prolapse of the upper or lower eyelid;
- excess overhanging skin;
- the appearance in the corners of the eyes of fat bags, etc.
All these problems are not necessarily related to age. For example, for some women, the overhang of the upper eyelid may be inherited. That is, some problems can be transmitted genetically from generation to generation.

Противопоказания
Unfortunately, not everyone can do blepharoplasty. The main contraindications for surgery are oncological and acute infectious diseases, corneal lesions, anemia, diabetes mellitus, etc.
Dispel myths
Many, before deciding on any operation, start looking for information about it on the Internet in women's forums. The most correct decision would be to make an appointment with a doctor for a consultation and ask all the exciting questions to him. Because on the Internet you can often stumble upon false or false information that can mislead you. For example, the most disturbing question is: "Will the eversion of the century happen?" Let's try to dispel this myth: eversion of the century is very rare and occurs mainly due to insufficient qualifications of a specialist. The cause of this trouble is the excessive excision of the skin flap in the lower eyelid. The muscle makes an eversion of the eyelid, as it simply cannot withstand the tension.
Many clients are convinced that blepharoplasty has a bad effect on vision. Interestingly, the exact opposite is happening. When the eyelid is hanging, a person from time to time strains the frontal muscle due to discomfort, as a result of which there are frequent cases of headaches. A decrease in vision can occur at a time when a person has an enlarged eyelid. Due to the appearance of a foreign body on the pupil, the vector of the eye is constantly changing. So much for the negative impact.
To believe in the third myth is much nicer than in the previous ones. From somewhere, many took a firm belief that blepharoplasty eliminates wrinkles. This is actually not the case. Simply put, wrinkles are just muscle contraction. And you need to get rid of them far from using blepharoplasty.

How is blepharoplasty
During the operation, the surgeon makes an incision through which removes adipose tissue or excess skin. After special seams are applied, which are called intradermal. To heal faster, it is recommended that you follow all the advice of the surgeon.
Recovery period
It is considered that the length of the recovery period depends largely on the mood of the patient. However, one mood you will not be full. During the rehabilitation period you need to follow all the advice of a specialist. Try for the first time after blepharoplasty not to go under direct sunlight. Refuse during the recovery period from visiting the bath. Heavy physical exertion will also have to be excluded. In many ways, the period of rehabilitation will depend on the ability of your body to recover.
The most important thing in any operation is to choose a qualified surgeon and a specialized clinic. In the modern world, there are a huge number of techniques that allow you to quickly and easily approach the desired result. Therefore, the professionalism of a specialist is what you first need to pay attention to. And then the result of blepharoplasty will exceed all expectations.
