Imagine. You will have eyelid aesthetic surgery tomorrow morning. How would you feel? Excited? Annoyed? Scared?
While some patients eagerly and excitedly await surgery, it is not at all strange that others feel a little anxious. After all, eyes are very important features of humans and the skin surrounding the eyes is sensitive. A developing complication can most likely result in serious problems that will have effects on social life.
Here are the main concerns of patients with eyelid surgery and also the occurrence of these problems.
⦁ I won't be able to close my eyes.Scientists, researchers and surgeons will examine a patient's eyes after surgery He agrees that it is rare for him not to be able to close it completely. When this condition occurs, it is almost always temporary. It is completely natural for the eyes not to close completely for the first 2-4 weeks after upper blepharoplasty (eyelid aesthetics). This is not due to too much skin being removed, as patients often fear, but due to swelling of the eyelid due to edema, which restricts eyelid movements. Rarely, it may take longer than 2-4 weeks for the eyelids to not close completely. This situation is a result of the scar tissue hardening the lid, which we call scar contracture. Scar contractures will usually soften around the 3rd month as the scar tissue matures and the eyelids will regain their former flexibility. In cases where too much skin is removed from the eyelid, it is possible that the eyes will not close permanently, but this is very, very rare. No trained surgeon would consciously remove this level of skin from the eyelid. Unfortunately, a few cases where the upper or lower eyelids do not come together permanently, with a probability of one in a thousand, have created a great sensation in the public.
⦁My surgeon may damage my eyes. It is not unheard of for a fully trained, experienced plastic surgeon to damage a patient's eye during surgery, but it is extremely rare. A standard blepharoplasty surgery occurs only on the eyelid and there is almost no contact with the eye. Still, he doesn't let his guard down We cover your eye with a special gel to keep it moist and slippery during the surgery, and we protect the eyeball with special eye protection shields.
⦁My eyes may appear asymmetrical after surgery. Rarely, the patient may feel that their eyes are not symmetrical after surgery. First of all, the shape of the eyes is almost always different before the surgery, but we do not notice these in daily life because we do not look carefully. Most of the asymmetries that bother patients after surgery are still there when looking at pre-operative photographs. It is a good idea to objectively evaluate your own characteristics with your plastic surgeon before the procedure. Another issue is that eyelid surgery cannot be performed exactly the same on the right and left. A vein on one side may bleed a little longer, and that side may appear more swollen and purple. Again, lateral canthopexy and muscle suspension maneuvers may cause temporary eye strains and deformities. However, these are deliberate over-corrections to prevent complications, and your surgeon will reassure you about this.
⦁The shape of my eyes will change after surgery.The shape of your eyes may change after surgery depending on various complications. It may seem strange when you first hear it, but in order to preserve the shape of your eyes in the long term and prevent complications, sometimes the shape of your eyes may need to appear too slanted for a while after the surgery, and temporary skin swelling may occur at the edges of the eyes. Taking such protective measures, especially in patients in the risk group, significantly reduces the incidence of complications. Your surgeon will inform you about preventive measures and early results during the preoperative interview. It will take an average of 3 months after the surgery for your eyes to take their final shape, but in some special cases and risk groups, this period may extend up to 1 year.
⦁I will have permanently dry eyes.After the surgery, your eyes will look normal. Feeling drier is common; This is why eye drops are recommended as a healing tool. Dry eyes usually resolve on their own within a few days to a few weeks. enir. If you have dry eyes before surgery, you should definitely tell your surgeon about this because some surgical techniques should not be applied to patients with dry eyes.
⦁I will not like my results.The main reason for dissatisfaction after blepharoplasty is lack of communication. Be sure to have a detailed conversation and ask all questions about the exact surgical plan that is right for you. Read the informed consent forms carefully and discuss anything you do not understand with your doctor. Have clear goals and make sure your doctor understands them correctly. Elusive statements about your goals, such as “I want to look less tired,” are not enough. Also, make sure you understand your surgeon's plan for managing complications and possible revisions. Most of the time all that needs to be done is a little tweaking. Before the surgery, review as many before and after photos as possible and choose the service you receive by seeing the results.
In the early 2000s, there was a major paradigm shift in facial aesthetics. Okay, everyone wanted to become beautiful, but having surgery was also a very scary thing.
The stories of those who had surgery and whose mouth and face were crooked, those who were stretched like a sheet, those who were someone else but could not be recognized by their brother-in-law, those who were bald, and those who were blind were literally passed down from word to mouth. It was an example.
I wish there was a non-surgical way to become younger and more beautiful.
The request was: Doctor, whatever needs to be done should be done immediately, without pain, without any swelling or bruises. Even if it does, it should heal quickly, it should be without scars, cuts, or knives, it should not be narcosis-free, it should be very beautiful and no one will understand it, and it should not be too expensive as we will marry the certain boy.
What plastic surgeons say is impossible to afford. this list of demands was deemed "reasonable" for the cosmetics industry. In a short time, "miraculous" products and devices began to take their place in the market one by one. All of them were doctor-approved, some were completely FDA-approved. It was not a "requirement" for practitioners to be surgeons, surgeons were already very boring, they always wanted to cut and reap, and by the way, they did not understand the female soul very much.
In this environment? The unstoppable rise of minimally invasive practices has begun. Botulinum toxin and synthetic filler applications have become a part of daily life. While the age of application was reduced to the graduation proms of high schools, in the conversations of friends, those who turned 30 and did not have anything done to their face started to be labeled as unkempt.
A complete aesthetic madness...
It is not known whether the society was about to go crazy or whether the multi-billion dollar cosmetics industry drove the society crazy, but the arrow was out of the bow...
In the last 20 years, billions of units of botulinum toxin were administered to millions of people through tankers. full of synthetic fillers were applied.
In the last 10 years, Winterfell would spend the winter with the energy spent on energy-based applications such as radiofrequency, focused ultrasound and laser for facial aesthetics.
Only in the last 5 years, train rails were put under people's skin, just for the sake of thread lift. If we lay the threads called spider web and French lace end to end, we can tie a ribbon around the world.
It was the era of minimally invasive procedures and facial rejuvenation surgeries were out of fashion. It's hard to believe, but even some plastic surgeons seemed to be convinced of this. Who would go under the knife for a job that could be done with a needle? Technology and medicine had advanced so much that no one who "knew how to take care of themselves" would age the same way...
We were saying...
Really, where did these old faces suddenly come from?
These must have been the ones who missed the minimally invasive aesthetics train.
Maybe they didn't miss it, but unfortunately what worked for everyone else didn't work for them, maybe the hands of the doctors who performed the application were not "magical" like their friend's doctor.
Maybe all this is too much to be true. it was good. Just like those anti-aging creams that were applied in handfuls and spent tons of money in the 80s and 90s... How did the movie stars, the beauty icons of 20-30 years ago, suddenly age? Or did they not have enough money for anti-aging creams that taste like a regenerative care complex developed in Swiss laboratories?
I think you already know the answer.
When you choose a plastic surgeon who is an expert in performing surgery, your chances of experiencing complications are very low. . Schedule your consultation Use sparingly. To gauge your surgeon's experience with blepharoplasty, ask how many eyelid procedures he performs each year and what precautions he takes to minimize risks. Investigate whether he has contributed to the medical literature in this field. See before and after photos. Ask what complications look like, too. Ask for references from real patients who have had surgery performed by that surgeon before. Don't be lazy, meet and talk to a few of them. After doing your research and consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon, if you are not completely comfortable, you can go to see another specialist, there will be no shame in anyone. Think of the time, effort and money you spend on all this as part of your investment to look good.
