A procedure such as blepharoplasty is necessary when the skin of the eyelids loses its elasticity and bags hanging over the eyes appear. Age-related changes such as sagging skin of the eyes give away a woman's age, even if the rest of her face looks young. Then the usual cosmetic methods become ineffective. Even injections of active substances do not give the desired result.

Blepharoplasty is considered one of the most effective rejuvenating surgeries performed by plastic surgeons. Indications for blepharoplasty may be the following aspects:

• Strong sagging of the skin over the eye area;
• The formation of bags under the eyes;
• Loss of tone and thinning and dryness of the skin, as well as loss of its elasticity;
• Dropping the corners of the eyes.

Based on the results of the examination and after assessing the presence of contraindications, one of the following types of blepharoplasty is prescribed:

• Transconjunctival.
• Circular.
• Upper.

Contraindications to the procedure may be heart problems and the presence of certain chronic diseases. You should not do such operations during pregnancy and if you suspect oncology. If there is an inflammatory process in the body, then in any case it is worth abandoning the procedure.

At the same time, eye diseases do not affect the intervention, since it does not directly affect the organs of vision.

After consultation and examination, the specialist chooses the method of the operation, the need for anesthesia, and the time is set.

After drawing a line on the upper eyelid, an incision is made to remove excess skin. After that, neat and almost imperceptible cosmetic seams are made. They are removed depending on the healing for 5-7 days.

So that the incision is not noticeable, it is made almost along the lash line. Tighten the skin and muscles, you need to carefully without pulling, so as not to greatly change the shape of the eyes and the entire face. Equally important is the recovery period. It takes place under the supervision of the attending physician.
