Youth is associated with eyes wide open with curiosity..

Alas, age and illness make ruthless adjustments to facial features: eyelids droop, and bags appear under the eyes..

Consultants of the Kyiv clinic Platinum Lazer know about the fears of clients: blepharoplasty has been performed in the clinic for a long time and successfully.

What myths are most often discussed at a surgeon's appointment?

Myth 1. Vision will get worse after surgery. Not true.

During surgery, the team of surgeons does not affect the eyeball, pupil, cornea and optic nerve. With the overhang of the eyelid, the quality of vision will only improve - the factor of vision distortion will disappear.

Myth 2. Blepharoplasty is an operation to correct the shape of the eye.. Wrong.

Indications for blepharoplasty are rather medical: the patient is worried about the overhanging eyelid or excess fat under the eye. The incision of the eyes does not change when removing a hernia and folds of the eyelid. They change the “Asian” eye shape: for this, the doctor forms the fold of the upper eyelid that is absent in the representatives of the Mongoloid race.

Myth 3. Eyelid surgery is performed under local anesthesia. Not always.

Blepharoplasty is divided into three types: upper, lower and circular. Upper eyelid surgery under local anesthetic. This speeds up the process of preparation for surgery and provides control of the patient's condition after the procedure.. Circular and transconjunctival corrections are performed under general anesthesia. It is indicated for excitable patients - in order to avoid an excess of adrenaline release and the resulting increased work of the circulatory system.. The Platinum Lazer clinic uses a fractional CO2 Smartxide DOT laser, which evaporates excess adipose tissue in layers without damage to blood vessels and bleeding.

Myth 4. Blepharoplasty - Weekend Surgery. Not true.

Yes, with laser eyelid correction, swelling and bruising are minimized. Yes, make-up can be applied already on the second day after the operation.. But why? Full rehabilitation takes from 3 to 10 days. It is necessary to control the level of fluid consumed, make lotions, apply ointment against edema.

Give your eyes a rest, limit physical activity for a month, give up the sauna and protect your eyes from the bright sun.

Myth 5. Seams after blepharoplasty are not visible. Is it true.

The transconjunctival technique is based on drawing an incision line through the inner side of the lower eyelid. Upper and circular plasty are carried out taking into account the methods of plastic surgeons. A couple of weeks after the procedure, your eyes will become ten years younger - without traces of surgery.
