Growing age takes a toll on the skin due to the weakening of the muscles and the loss of the skin’s structural proteins- collagen and elastin. The eyelid skin is one of the facial sites where aging signs are first noticed. As the eyelid skin is delicate, upon being subjected to years of unhealthy lifestyles, stress, inadequate sleep, sun damage, and smoking, it gradually changes its appearance with advancing age. And so, many elderly and even youngsters experience loose, wrinkled, puffy, or sagging lower eyelids or excess upper eyelids skin and bulging fat which at times may hinder their vision. Here comes the rescue is the eyelid surgery in India, performed by Dr.Shilpi Bhadani at SB Aesthetics.
Indian women are more into keeping themselves aesthetically appealing. As the eyes are one of the most beautiful, prominent parts of their face, they cannot afford to have tired, dull, sad, angry, or prematurely aged-looking eyes and faces. Thankfully, eyelid surgery for Indian women is available at Dr. Shilpi Bhadani and even at most plastic surgeon’s offices at budget-friendly prices.
What is eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery, medically termed blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic operation aiming at improving the eyelid's appearance and correcting all the defects and deformities of the eyelids. The surgery involves the excision of extra skin, removal of surplus fat, and tightening or strengthening of the weak muscles in the upper or lower eyelids. It is executed only by a certified, expert, and experienced plastic or cosmetic surgeon. Depending on the eyelid being operated, there are two kinds of blepharoplasty- Upper Blepharoplasty and Lower Blepharoplasty.
When is eyelid surgery done?
Eyelid surgery is usually recommended for people who have the following concerns:
- Under-eye bags
- Droopy or puffy upper eyelids
- Fat deposits around the eyelids
- Loose skin around the eyelids
- Bunching around the eyelids
- A desire to make eyes look rejuvenated or refreshing.
Suitable candidates for eyelid surgery are individuals with these above-mentioned concerns who are very bothered by the look of their eyes and are otherwise healthy and emotionally stable. To be a good candidate and ensure the results are optimal and as desired, an individual also needs to have realistic expectations from their surgery outcome and show commitment to proper aftercare as well as a healthy lifestyle.
What age is the best for eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery can be undertaken by anyone at any age. However, the average age is over 55. This means even if young adults are unhappy with their eyelid appearance, they don’t have to delay their eyelid surgery to address their concerns.
Top reasons why young Indian women are opting for eyelid surgery
- Eyelid bags or hooded eyes
Under-eye bags and saggy eyebrows or upper eyelids are common complaints of aging which can even be caused by genetics. These concerns can’t be fixed best with any other procedure except an eyelid surgery
- Lack of crease or fold in the upper eyelid
Most people of Asian descent like Indian women and those with genetic conditions have monolid eyes or epicanthal folds- an eyelid shape caused by a lack of crease in the eyelid. An eyelid surgery can best address this defect.
- Trouble in applying eye makeup
Severe drooping of eyelid skin or wrinkled eyelid skin and even bulges beneath the eyes may make it difficult to apply eye makeup which Indian women are very fond of. An eyelid surgery can correct eyelid dropping to alleviate this trouble.
- Saggy upper eyelids (a ptosis condition) that impairs vision
People with ptosis require eyelid surgery to be able to see normally.
- Being conscious or unhappy about eyelid appearance
An eyelid surgery can help restore a youthful definition to the eyelids with the removal of extra, saggy skin and fat. It can help one eye look more rested and alert.
- Long-lasting effect
The benefits of blepharoplasty can be enjoyed in the long term. In the case of lower blepharoplasty, rarely a repetition is required while for upper blepharoplasty, another operation may be needed after 5-7 years of the first.
- The surgeon tailor plans the surgery
The procedure of eyelid surgery is customized based on the patient's needs. It may involve one of the eyelid operations or both.
- Short procedure with minimal risk and downtime
Generally, eyelid surgery is a lunchtime operation, usually taking 1-2 hours, and is performed under local anesthesia. The side effects are minimal and the risks and complications are rare. Mostly, one can fully recover from eyelid surgery in about 10 days but can resume work in a few days.
- Easily Affordable
Although the cost of eyelid surgery depends on various factors, it may be less expensive than going to a spa and spending a weekend. Its price is worth it when considering the dramatic results it offers.
- No fake appearance
An eyelid surgery, if performed by a qualified surgeon who is an expert in facial plastic surgery, the results obtained appear natural and subtle. And so, others often question, how does that look possible?
