Blepharoplasty: Enhance your Eyes

The eyes are one of the most important features of the face, dramatically affecting your overall appearance. Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty can restore a youthful and less fatigued look, by correcting drooping upper eyelids and reducing puffy bags as your eyelids tend to sag with age and time, impairing your vision and appearance. Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty is performed for medical or cosmetic reasons, with the aim to improve the aesthetic appearance of the eye, while retaining natural shape and function.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty can be performed to:

• To remove excess droopy skin from the upper or lower eyelids
• To reduce fatigue from heavy eyelids
• To enhance youthful appearance
• To reduce puffiness under the eyes
• To tighten the underlying muscles and soft tissues
• To remove excess fat ´bags´ from under the lower eyelids or in the upper eyelids

Blepharoplasty Procedure

Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is a very common cosmetic procedure, involving the removal of excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The procedure usually takes 45 to 90 minutes and can be performed in day surgery or in hospital using local anaesthesia with or without sedation or general anaesthetic. Stitches can be removed after four or five days and the eye area is significantly healed within 10 days; most patients return to work in this time. Dr Pham ensures scarring is less visible and is easily camouflaged by the natural folds of the skin.

Double Eyelid Surgery

Double eyelid surgery is a common procedure for people that come from an East Asian background with little or no upper eye lid creases. There are two methods for double eyelid surgery including a suture technique, which is less invasive and a surgery technique which is more permanent.

Patients from East Asian backgrounds commonly request double eyelid Blepharoplasty and nasal augmentation together for a more natural dramatic result. Dr Pham can advise on the best methods to achieve an outstanding result.
A Complete Makeover

Blepharoplasty results in a fresh appearance and firmer eye area, improving sagging eye lids but it does not alter dark circles, sagging eyebrows or fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Dr Pham can recommend complementary surgeries that will address all problems areas for an outstanding final result.
