Midlife Eye Surgery: Dual Lower Blepharoplasty and Lower Blepharoplasty #ObjetPlasticSurgery

Nice to meet you. This is Objet Plastic Surgery.

How was your day today? Monday can feel a little tiring because some weekend fatigue still remains, but it is also a day filled with excitement, as if something fun might happen.

Today was also a very busy day at our clinic. But the busier it gets, the greater the sense of reward and enjoyment.

Because patients who came in feeling distressed about their complexes leave after surgery with renewed confidence in their changed appearance. Thanks to these patients, Objet always seems full of bright and happy energy.

What we prepared for this post is midlife eye surgery.

A magical power that turns back time

Have you heard of dual lower blepharoplasty?

There are various types of eye surgery that help turn back the time of middle age, but lower blepharoplasty may be the best among them. Let’s take a look at dual lower blepharoplasty, which you can find at Objet Plastic Surgery.

Dual lower blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and under-eye fat repositioning are all procedures that correct aging under the eyes.

The order of surgery scale for midlife eye surgery is under-eye fat repositioning ▶ dual lower blepharoplasty ▶ lower blepharoplasty. Lower blepharoplasty can be said to be the largest of the three. A larger scope means that more areas are being treated, which leads to more swelling and a longer recovery.

Lower blepharoplasty surgery

This is the traditional method that has been performed from the past to the present. An incision is made along the area just below the eyelashes to the outer corner of the eye, under-eye fat is repositioned, the remaining muscle is fully tightened, and then the remaining skin is removed.

Simply put, you can think of this as being somewhere between under-eye fat repositioning and lower blepharoplasty. It is a very useful option for patients who feel that under-eye fat repositioning alone is not enough because there is sagging under the eyes, but who feel lower blepharoplasty is too much of a burden.

After transconjunctival under-eye fat repositioning, an additional incision is made from the halfway point below the eyelashes to the outer corner wrinkle. The stretched half of the skin is removed, or the stretched muscle is tightened and fixed to the periosteum before the skin is removed.

In the case of lower blepharoplasty, it is an effective method when there is a large amount of under-eye fat protrusion and severe sagging, especially for older patients. The downside is that a scar line remains along the area below the eyelashes and extending to the outer corner of the eye, and the recovery time is longer than with under-eye fat repositioning because of bruising, swelling, and similar effects after surgery.

However, as time passes, the scar line becomes barely noticeable, so there is no need to worry too much.

Midlife eye surgery is performed under local sedation anesthesia, but it is absolutely not the kind where so much anesthetic is used that you sleep from the start of the surgery to the end. ^^ At the beginning, a sedative is administered, and while you are asleep, the procedure is performed safely using local anesthetic for local anesthesia.

Although it varies by person, even if you wake up during the surgery, local anesthesia has already been completed, so you can undergo the procedure comfortably without pain.

Both lower blepharoplasty and dual lower blepharoplasty take about 2 hours in total, and the blue bruising that appears after surgery happens because small blood vessels rupture. Swelling occurs as tissue fluid collects in the damaged area while the area heals during the surgical process.

Of course, swelling and bruising from midlife eye surgery can vary from person to person, but in most cases they gradually worsen for about 1 to 2 weeks and then begin to subside. After about a month, the bruised areas are mostly absorbed and reduced, and swelling can be said to have subsided by about 80%. Depending on individual characteristics, it may take 2 to 3 months for the swelling to fully go down. Because it can vary depending on underlying conditions or medical history, recovery may be faster or slower.
