Fast Recovery After Lower Eyelid Surgery for Middle-Aged Men

Skin sagging of the eyelids occurs in both the upper and lower eyelids, and one of the most common concerns discussed in middle-aged cosmetic surgery is eyelid skin sagging.

Skin sagging of the upper eyelid can usually be treated with upper eyelid surgery (upper blepharoplasty), and skin sagging of the lower eyelid can be treated with lower eyelid surgery (lower blepharoplasty).

Unlike women, many men feel 부담스러워 about undergoing upper eyelid surgery, so they often have lower eyelid surgery first.

It seems that men place great importance on a short recovery period because of work and other social activities.

'How to Make Recovery Faster After Lower Blepharoplasty'

Lower blepharoplasty usually takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour, and since it is generally performed under sedation anesthesia, you can undergo the procedure comfortably.

If the surgery is performed only under local anesthesia, blood pressure may rise due to slight tension about the procedure, but when the surgery is done under sedation anesthesia, blood pressure increases caused by tension can be prevented.

Lower eyelid surgery uses both sedation anesthesia and local anesthesia, and a vasoconstrictor is added to the local anesthetic to minimize bleeding that may occur during surgery.

In addition, if bleeding occurs during or after surgery, bruising after surgery can be significant and the recovery period can become longer, so hemostatic agents are used during or after surgery to reduce swelling and bruising as much as possible.

Also, the length of the incision made for dissection during surgery should be shortened for faster recovery, so the incision length is being reduced. The dissection of the orbicularis oculi muscle under the eyes should also be made in a small tunnel shape to speed recovery after surgery.

Of course, this can narrow the surgical field, so devices that help with the field of view during surgery, such as a headlight, are used, and any bleeding that occurs during the procedure is carefully controlled.

'Recovery Period After Lower Blepharoplasty'

Removal of the stitches after lower blepharoplasty is usually done about 5 to 7 days later, and fast recovery is supported through postoperative swelling management.

The tape under the eyes is usually removed together with the stitches, but if you want the tape removed a little earlier, it can be removed starting around day 3.

In general, if you want a quick recovery and natural results, choosing brow lift surgery for sagging skin of the upper eyelid and lower blepharoplasty for sagging skin of the lower eyelid can lead to a shorter recovery period and natural results.
