Our Philosophy on Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Our approach to blepharoplasty focuses on providing personalised surgical solutions that cater to each patient’s unique anatomical and functional needs. The surgeons who operate at AR Plastic Surgery bring many years of experience in performing this procedure and take great pride in working towards results that align with the aesthetic and functional expectations discussed during consultations. By drawing on their skill, they work to help ensure the outcomes reflect each patient’s goals.
We are dedicated to ensuring that every patient fully understands the procedure, the changes that will be made, and the outcomes they can expect. Our philosophy emphasises informed consent and thorough patient education, empowering individuals to make well-informed decisions about their surgery. We maintain an open dialogue throughout, discussing the technical aspects of blepharoplasty and the realistic changes that can be achieved, helping to set clear expectations.
Each patient undergoes a detailed pre-operative assessment to confirm their suitability for blepharoplasty, considering factors such as overall health, skin quality, and specific eyelid concerns. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to tailor the procedure to the patient’s individual needs, ensuring the results address their specific concerns while meeting the goals discussed during consultations.
Understanding Blepharoplasty Surgery
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure that reshapes the eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, or muscle. While it is often performed to address functional concerns, such as obstructed vision or discomfort caused by excess skin, it can also be used to address aesthetic concerns. This makes it suitable for patients seeking to change the appearance of their eyelids or those dealing with issues related to ageing, genetics, or environmental factors.
During the consultation, surgeons provide a detailed overview of the procedure, explaining how it can address both functional and aesthetic concerns. They discuss the specific techniques that will be used to reshape the eyelids and how these adjustments can impact overall comfort, vision, or appearance.
Patients receive a thorough explanation of the expected changes and realistic outcomes, ensuring they have a clear understanding of the procedure’s objectives. This open dialogue helps patients make informed decisions about their surgery, whether the goal is to address functional concerns, achieve aesthetic changes, or both.
Suitable Candidates for Blepharoplasty Surgery
Blepharoplasty may be suitable for patients experiencing functional difficulties related to the condition of their eyelids. This includes those with excess skin that impairs vision or causes discomfort, making daily activities like reading or driving more difficult. Additionally, patients who experience fatigue or eye strain from constantly lifting descending eyelids are also potentially suitable candidates for the procedure. Aside from resolving functional issues, blepharoplasty can also address aesthetic concerns, such as increasing eyelid symmetry and changing the overall appearance of the eyelids.
During initial consultations, surgeons assess the patient’s specific symptoms and the physical characteristics of their eyelids to determine whether blepharoplasty can address their concerns. Suitable candidates are those who have not responded to non-surgical treatments and are in good overall health. It is also important for candidates to have realistic expectations and be non-smokers or willing to stop smoking prior to surgery, as smoking can impair the healing process.
The assessment for blepharoplasty includes a review of any previous eye surgeries and underlying conditions that could affect the outcome. Surgeons work closely with candidates to ensure they have a clear understanding of the expected results and are well-prepared for the recovery process and the post-surgical care required.
