Complications of Upper Eyelid Surgery

From a beauty perspective, the eyes are the most important part of the face.

The eyes in many cases indicate the person’s age and reflect their emotional and mental states. The eyes and eyelids show signs of aging earlier than other body parts.

Plastic surgery for the upper eyelid, called blepharoplasty, is designed to remove excess eyelid puffiness and skin, and its main goal is to make the face look younger.

Eyelid surgery requires obtaining information, and individuals should pay attention to all of this information before the procedure.

If you are looking for more information about eyelid surgery, it is better to stay with us until the end of this article.

Am I a suitable candidate for eyelid surgery?

Suitable candidates for eyelid surgery are women and men who:

  1. Are physically healthy.
  2. Have stable mental health.
  3. Have realistic expectations of eyelid surgery.
  4. Are aged 35 years or older.

Some Diseases and Risks of Eyelid Surgery

  1. Thyroid disease
  2. Dry eyes
  3. Lack of tears
  4. High blood pressure
  5. Circulation disorders
  6. Cardiovascular disease
  7. Diabetes
  8. Retinal detachment
  9. Glaucoma

If you have any of these conditions, talk to your doctor to find out if blepharoplasty surgery is suitable for you or not.

Blepharoplasty surgery does not improve the following conditions

  1. Dark circles around the eyes
  2. Drooping eyebrows
  3. Wrinkles around the eyelids, between the eyebrows, and forehead.

Before Eyelid Surgery

In the first consultation session, the doctor will ask about general health status, vision, tear production, whether you wear glasses or contact lenses, and any special conditions that may affect the results of eyelid surgery.

You should talk to your doctor about the details of the procedure, the type of anesthesia, and the pre- and post-operative care, and plan with the doctor for the surgery and recovery period. It may be necessary to avoid taking aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs approximately two weeks before the surgery.

Taking acetaminophen will not be a problem.

Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty gives a younger appearance to the eyes and corrects eyelid drooping or

puffiness. Perhaps you want to have blepharoplasty for beauty reasons or for better vision. This depends on which part of the eyelid has excess skin

Upper Eyelid

The presence of excess skin on the upper eyelid makes the person look tired and creates a problem in the upper field of vision. Sometimes, blepharoplasty is performed for the upper eyelid for beauty purposes. In other cases, this surgery is medically necessary and helps the person to have better vision.

Lower Eyelid

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that will be performed to shape and improve the appearance of loose skin and fat bags under the eyes.

How is Blepharoplasty Performed?

Blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia and takes one to three hours.

The patient is given a sedative and the area around the surgery is also injected with anesthesia.

The patient should be awake during the procedure but should be calm and feel no pain.

For upper eyelid blepharoplasty, the central part of the eyelid is incised and a portion of the skin along with a portion of the subcutaneous fat and muscle is removed.

For lower eyelid blepharoplasty, an incision is made about one-sixteenth of an inch below the lower eyelid edge and extended outward on the face.

In this method, the doctor removes excess skin, fat, and muscle.

Immediately After Surgery

Apply a fatty ointment to the incisions for 48 hours after the surgery and place a special ice eye patch on your eyes to reduce swelling and bruising. After 48 hours, use a cool pad on the eye at regular intervals to relieve itching and burning sensation.

You may need to use eye drops for a while. From the third day after the surgery, if you feel comfortable with a warm eye pad, place a warm eye pad on the eye.

You may need to wear glasses for one week to prevent eye irritation from sunlight and wind.

After a Few Weeks

The stitches are removed two days to one week after the surgery.

The eyelids are bruised and swollen for seven to ten days after the surgery, and you may feel that your eyelids are tight or firm for a while.

During this time, do eye exercises to keep your eyes moist, such as closing your eyes and looking up at the ceiling.

In the first few weeks after the surgery, you may experience excessive tearing, sensitivity to light, double vision, or blurred vision, and red spots may appear on the white of your eye, but they will disappear after two to three weeks.

You can read and watch TV after two or three days.

Do not use contact lenses until your doctor approves.

You can return to work after one week to ten days after the surgery and cover the red spots with cream and makeup.

Avoid bending from your waist for five days and avoid strenuous activities for about ten days to two or three weeks.

After the surgery, scars and wound marks will remain.

These scars are not visible and will fade over time and are difficult to detect.

What are the care measures that prevent complications after eyelid cosmetic surgery?

  1. Prepare for your recovery period.

People usually return to their normal activities within 10-14 days after eyelid surgery, but you should be prepared to take time off from work to allow your eyes to heal.

One good way to speed up the recovery process is to prepare in advance.

  1. Follow the necessary care instructions carefully.

Consult with your doctor before the surgery to understand what care measures your eyelids will need after the surgery.

  1. Consider the results of your surgery.

You may not look great for a short period of time, and your eyelids may become swollen, surgical incisions may appear red, and swelling and bruising may make your eyes appear like they have been punched.

  1. Protect your eyes from the sun.

You should protect your eyes from sunlight and harmful factors like wind. Use dark-tinted sunglasses that cover your eyes from both sides.

Wear a brimmed hat for protection and follow the post-surgery instructions carefully.

  1. Do not strain your eyes.

Avoid checking your email, reading books, or watching TV until one week after eyelid surgery.

  1. Get plenty of rest.

Rest both your body and your eyes.

  1. Avoid strenuous activities.

During the first two to four weeks after eyelid surgery, you should avoid activities that increase blood flow to the eyes.

  1. Be relaxed and calm during the recovery period.

Avoiding stress can speed up wound healing and recovery.

  1. Do not smoke.

Smoking and tobacco use can have negative effects on the recovery process.

Although the recovery process may be slow, the results are excellent.

The recovery period is long, and people may feel depressed after plastic surgery.

The face is bruised and swollen in the first few days after the procedure, which is a natural occurrence.

Does this surgery have any complications?

Every surgical procedure has its own complications.

Eyelid surgery is related to a person’s vision, and it is recommended that this type of surgery be performed by a highly specialized plastic and reconstructive surgeon who is familiar with the precise anatomy of the area to avoid any complications related to vision.

The surgery should be performed by an experienced surgeon to minimize complications.

Mild complications after the surgery include:

  1. Farsightedness or blurred vision
  2. Swelling and bruising of the eyelids
  3. Asymmetry at the site of the incision on both sides
  4. Small white pimples at the site of the stitches

These complications are temporary and usually resolve after a few weeks. In some people, the eyelids do not close during sleep after the surgery, which is a mild condition that improves after a few weeks.

The use of artificial tears and moisturizing ointment at bedtime helps control this condition. If this condition is severe, the eyelid may remain open for a long time, causing dryness and corneal ulceration, which can lead to serious vision problems, and this problem must be corrected with further surgery.

In very rare cases, severe bleeding may occur after the surgery, which, with pressure on the optic nerve, can cause decreased vision and become permanent.

The surgeon tries to make both sides similar after the surgery, but sometimes, due to the difference in the healing process on both sides, complete symmetry may not be achieved.

Final words about eyelid surgery

Eyelid surgery is a cosmetic and therapeutic procedure that many people use today to have beautiful eyes. If the surgery is not performed by a specialized person, the possibility of therapeutic complications increases.

One of the complications of eyelid surgery is bruising and swelling after the surgery, which decreases with the passage of the recovery period.

However, in some cases, such as eye bleeding, you should consult your specialist.

Your surgeon’s expertise in eyelid creasing during surgery is very important.
