Middle-Aged Lower Blepharoplasty: From Swelling and Bruising Management to Recovery ... image 1

The area where signs of aging progress the fastest is the eye area.

Changes around the eyes can create a tired-looking impression or cause the face to look older. That is why many people feel that changes around the eyes intensify their stress about aging.

Signs of aging around the eyes appear not only in the upper eyelids but also prominently in the lower eyelids. And once changes in the lower eyelids progress, the reality is that improvement is not easy.

If sagging of the lower eyelids is accompanied by protruding fat underneath the eyes, that is evidence that the aging process in the under-eye area has progressed to some degree, so it is wise to seek improvement.

Lower Blepharoplasty

This is a surgery that improves sagging under the eyes by partially removing and appropriately repositioning the fat mass that has begun to settle under the eyes.

In general, after making an incision near the lower eyelid eyelashes, the surgeon examines the muscle under the eyes, commonly called the aegyo-sal, and improves any hollowed areas. The bulging fat is flattened, the hollow areas are filled, and the fat is repositioned.

Lower Blepharoplasty Effects

If you feel stressed because sagging skin has changed your face to look older If you look tired because of changes in the under-eye skin tissue and color If bulging and uneven fat under the eyes bothers you If wrinkles have become noticeably deeper because of changes under the eyes

In these cases, undergoing lower eyelid surgery can help make an older-looking impression appear younger and more lively.

Lower Blepharoplasty Side Effects?! When you enter middle age, you can feel that your physical abilities have declined compared to when you were younger. And because you may have heard people around you say that after eye surgery their expression became more awkward than before, or that the result looked so unnatural it would have been better not to have had the surgery at all, you may become hesitant about surgery.

However, even middle-aged eye surgery does not require much concern about side effects if you consult with a specialist and proceed in a customized way while considering your skin type and degree of aging.

You also do not need to feel burdened by the recovery process after surgery if it is performed by a specialist with extensive experience who carries out the procedure carefully.

How to Manage Swelling and Bruising After Lower Blepharoplasty Considering each individual’s degree of aging around the eyes, current skin type, and even the depth of wrinkles, swelling and bruising usually recover within two weeks.

To help swelling and bruising improve as quickly as possible after surgery, it is best to diligently apply compresses after the procedure.

Starting with cold compresses on the day of surgery, and then switching from cold compresses to warm compresses about 3 to 4 days after surgery, can help reduce swelling and bruising more quickly after lower eyelid surgery.

Of course, after surgery, please be careful with drinking alcohol, smoking, strenuous exercise, and hot saunas, and it is also best to avoid washing your face with water until the stitches are removed.
