When is it customary to do circular plastic surgery of the eyelids in Ukraine

If there are no physiological prerequisites or injuries received at a young age, which negatively affected the aesthetics of the area around the eyes, surgery is resorted to starting from 35-40 years. Circular eyelid surgery in Kyiv is performed with the aim of the most effective correction of visible imperfections when not only excess sagging skin and fatty hernias are removed, but even the muscles around the orbit are corrected.

Indications for surgery

Most often, an eyelid lift in Kyiv is performed by our specialists, not for medical reasons, but based on the patient’s personal desire to make his face more attractive. The percentage of operations to correct the consequences of injuries or developmental anomalies is much lower.

The indications for blepharoplasty in Kyiv are:

defects acquired because of trauma;
ptosis of eyelid tissues (anatomical feature, or due to age-related changes);
congenital predisposition to sagging skin of the eyelids at an early age;
drooping of the corners of the eyes;
fatty hernias;
swelling, the formation of bags under the eyes in combination with an overhanging upper eyelid.

The formation of folds and expression lines is also included in the correction list for a circular eyelid lift. At the same time, our specialists clarify: to remove crow’s feet, besides blepharoplasty, additional methods of work are involved.

Contraindications

An obstacle to performing eyelid surgery can be chronic diseases in the acute stage, pregnancy, and lactation, the use of implants and fillers in the eye area.

The patient must be healthy since local anesthesia, in combination with sedatives or narcosis, will be used for the surgical intervention.

The operation will have to be postponed or abandoned if:

there is an acute infectious disease;
the patient has impaired blood clotting;
a history of cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the endocrine system;
there are ophthalmic pathologies.

The surgeon will refuse the operation if there are a formation of inflammation, pustular lesions, signs of a bacterial or fungal infection in the eye area. Oncology is a contraindication, regardless of localization.

Preparation for surgery and stages of circular blepharoplasty

To reduce the risk of complications, it is important for the patient to strictly follow the surgeon’s recommendations. Blepharoplasty in Ukraine is a full-fledged surgical intervention, therefore, the patient must first pass all the tests prescribed by the doctor and do a CT scan so that the surgeon can see how the muscles and tissues around the eyes are located.

Having decided on eyelid surgery, give up alcohol and nicotine. Stop taking medications that affect blood clotting after about 2 weeks, in consultation with your healthcare professional. The day before the operation, wash your hair and take a bath - after that, you will have to refrain from procedures in hot water.

On the day of the operation, you will have to starve and observe the restrictions on the drinking regime. This is because of the use of anesthesia, especially if general anesthesia will be used.

The surgeon makes a preliminary marking of the zones, marking the places of the incisions. The dissection of the skin is performed in places of natural folds, under the eyelashes, and also transconjunctivally (on the inner side of the lower eyelid). The doctor looks at how the skin behaves when lying and standing. Only after a careful study of the markings, the patient is sent to the operating room.

Circular eyelid surgery is performed in several stages:

Anesthesia.
Antiseptic treatment of the operating field.
The doctor takes turns correcting each eyelid: excises excess tissue, redistributes muscle fibers, fatty tissue, and skin. Fixes tissues in a new position.
Sutures apply to the wounds.
Places of incisions are fixed with strips of plaster, a sterile bandage is applied over it.

If there are no complications, then eyelid surgery in Kyiv implies a hospital stay for only 3 days. In our clinic, patients have created comfortable conditions that help to fully recover their strength before being sent home for further rehabilitation.

What can / cannot be done after a circular eyelid lift, rehabilitation period

If self-absorbable sutures were not used during the operation, the sutures are removed by the end of the first week. Wash your face gently with warm boiled water using tampons. Neutral antiseptics are also used.

For the swelling to go away faster, you will have to sleep on your back. The head should be slightly raised. To accelerate tissue regeneration, the doctor will prescribe ointments, in addition, physiotherapy can be recommended. Hematomas disappear around the end of the second week.

Scars remain visible for up to 3 months. The traces of the intervention cease to be distinguishable after 5-8 months, depending on the individual characteristics.

For the period of rehabilitation, the patient will have to refrain from sharp downward bends, excessive physical exertion. Baths, saunas, beaches, and solariums are also prohibited. Alcohol and nicotine inhibit the processes of tissue regeneration, therefore, they must be abandoned.

Result

You can evaluate the results of the operation after at least six months. During this period, edema will disappear, collagen fibers at the incision sites will completely restore the integrity of the bonds and renew the structure of the eyelids. The skin and fabrics adapt to the new position.
