Everything You Should Know About Lower Blepharoplasty Surgery In London Oculoplastic surgery is a subdivision of ophthalmology that refers to the structures surrounding the eye. These include the eyelids, the tear duct system, and the contents of the bony cavity (orbit) in which the eyeball is located. Diseases of these structures affect the eye and must be addressed to prevent further damage to the eye itself. Oculoplastic surgery encompasses a wide range of surgical procedures on the eyelids and adjacent structures. It is a specialist field of ophthalmology and oculoplastic surgery is performed for cosmetic or functional reasons. An eyebrow lift, eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty surgery are examples of oculoplastic procedures performed for both aesthetic and functional purposes. Other oculoplastic procedures are aimed at repairing sagging eyelids to unblock the vision or treating skin cancer on the eyelids. There are also other less invasive cosmetic oculoplastic procedures such as facial Botox. Both cosmetic and functional blepharoplasty is aimed at achieving a desirable aesthetic outcome and natural appearance, without compromising the function or comfort of the eyes. Blepharoplasty is a procedure performed by a reconstructive and cosmetic eyelid surgeon to correct eyelids that are loose or drooping. The skin of our eyelids becomes less elastic as we age, and it could give the face, especially the eyes, a haggard or fatigued appearance. Cosmetic blepharoplasty can be performed on either the lower or upper eyelid, or both, while functional blepharoplasty is usually performed on the upper eyelid to remove the excess skin that obscures one’s field of vision. Both lower and upper Blepharoplasty requires local anesthesia or sedation as a day case procedure. With lower Blepharoplasty surgery in London, you can refresh your look and get your confidence back. If done correctly, it can offer significant improvements in appearance with minimal risks. The midface's descent is another important aspect of aging change. As we age, our faces start to lose volume, and wrinkles and deep lines start to appear, creating a gaunt appearance. While all of these changes are part of the natural aging process, excessive sun exposure, smoking, and hereditary factors can also accelerate and exacerbate them. One of the best choices you could make to improve the appearance of constitutional lower eyelid bags or excessive skin is by having lower blepharoplasty in London. The technique of upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery differs significantly and there are many approaches and add-on procedures to enhance the desired effects, but many years of expertise are required to execute all forms of blepharoplasty surgery. With lower eyelid blepharoplasty, the surgeon will make an incision either on the inside of the eyelid, or when skin removal is needed, a skin incision is made directly below and very close to the eyelashes. This procedure is far more complex than upper blepharoplasty. Fat bulges are sometimes the main aesthetic concern, even in younger patients. Although lower blepharoplasty surgery in London could be performed under local anesthesia with sedation upon the request of the patient, most doctors prefer general anesthesia, due to the length of the procedure.
