Excessive Dermatochalasis: This condition involves the presence of excess skin on the upper eyelids, leading to lateral hooding and potential visual obstruction. On the lower eyelids, it can contribute to ectropion, a condition where the eyelid turns outward.
Ptosis: This refers to the drooping of the upper eyelid, which may be congenital or acquired. Patients with significant ptosis (MRD1 of 1–2 mm) often benefit from blepharoplasty combined with other corrective procedures.
In cases where excess fat in the upper and lower eyelids causes cosmetic concerns, blepharoplasty surgery can address both functional and aesthetic needs.
Ophthalmologic Evaluation: A comprehensive eye exam, including a retinal exam, is necessary to identify any underlying eye conditions that could affect the outcome of the surgery.
Visual Function Evaluation: A preoperative assessment of visual acuity and any symptoms of dry eyes or visual obstruction is important to ensure the surgery will not compromise vision.
Medical History Review: The surgeon must evaluate the patient’s overall medical history, particularly systemic diseases that involve the eyes, such as diabetes or thyroid disease, as well as bleeding or clotting disorders.
Visual Field Testing: This helps assess any visual field obstructions caused by eyelid conditions.
Jones Test: Checks the patency of the lacrimal ducts to ensure there are no issues with tear drainage.
Shirmer’s Test: Assesses tear production, which is important to evaluate the risk of postoperative dry eyes.
These evaluations help identify any potential risks and contraindications, ensuring a safe procedure and optimal results.
Upper Blepharoplasty: Involves removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper eyelids to rejuvenate the area and improve appearance.
Lower Blepharoplasty: Targets the lower eyelids to reduce puffiness, bags, and enhance overall appearance.
Transcutaneous/Subciliary Blepharoplasty: Involves an incision just below the eyelashes to remove excess skin, reposition or remove fat, and potentially perform a midface lift.
Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty: A procedure performed through the inside of the eyelid to address lower eyelid fat without visible scarring, ideal for patients with good skin elasticity.
Eyelid Ptosis Surgery: Corrects the drooping of one or both upper eyelids to restore normal positioning and improve vision.
SOOF Lift: Raises the sub-orbicularis oculi fat (SOOF) to enhance midface contours and address hollowness beneath the eyes.
Fat-Preserving Blepharoplasty: Avoids removing eyelid fat to preserve a youthful appearance, preventing a hollow or sunken look.
Fat Grafting/Injection: Adds volume to the under-eye area, restoring youthful contours.
Canthoplasty/Canthopexy: Tightens the outer corner of the eyelid to support the lower eyelid and achieve the desired eye shape.
Laser Blepharoplasty: Uses a laser to cut through the eyelid skin, minimizing bleeding and bruising.
Functional Blepharoplasty: Focuses on removing overhanging eyelid skin that obstructs vision, improving functional aspects of the eyes.
Improvement in Lower Eyelid Hollowing: Effectively addresses sunken or hollow areas under the eyes, providing a more youthful and smooth contour.
Reduction of Dark Circles: By removing excess skin and fat, blepharoplasty can diminish dark circles, leading to a brighter and refreshed look.
Relief from Skin Irritation: Removes excess skin that may cause irritation and discomfort, improving overall eye comfort.
Enhanced Eye Shape: The procedure improves the shape of the eyes, creating a more balanced and refreshed facial appearance.
Anti-Aging Effects: Blepharoplasty eliminates sagging skin, reducing signs of aging and rejuvenating the face.
Improved Vision: For those with obstructed vision due to excess eyelid skin, the procedure can enhance the line of sight.
Reduction of Under-Eye Bags: Removes puffiness and bags, resulting in a smoother appearance.
Lagophthalmos: In some cases, the upper eyelid may fail to close completely, leading to potential corneal damage. Severe cases may require intervention.
Ectropion: Excess skin removal or scarring can cause the lower eyelid to turn outward, requiring corrective surgery.
Dry Eyes: Postoperative dry eyes are common, particularly in those with pre-existing risk factors. Lubrication is essential to manage this issue.
Retrobulbar Hemorrhage: A rare but serious complication, retrobulbar hematoma can lead to severe ocular pain, visual disturbances, and even permanent vision loss if not treated promptly.
