БЛЕФАРОПЛАСТИКА
(ПЛАСТИКА НА КЛЕПАЧИ)
What is it ?
операция на клепачите
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can rejuvenate puffy and tired eyes by removing excess fat, correcting the skin and muscles in the area of the upper or lower eyelids. The surgery can remove bags around the eyes and create a smooth facial contour, resulting in fresher and more youthful looking eyes.
What is the operation? операция на клепачите
The operation can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Its duration is not less than two hours. It usually starts with correction of the upper eyelid and then the lower. The incisions are placed in the natural folds of the eyelids. Depending on the chosen technique, fat herniations are removed or fixed to underlying structures. Excess skin is removed. When there is no excess skin, fat removal can also be done without external access, the so-called transconjunctival blepharoplasty. The closure of the incisions is with an aesthetic suture. After healing, these scars are not visible.
Thin paper strips are placed over the stitches, which serve as a bandage. It is good to apply ice after the operation.
Stay in a health facility after local anesthesia is not necessary, but after general anesthesia it is necessary to remain under observation for two hours.
What can be achieved with this operation?
Blepharoplasty is ideal for correcting:
- Sagging, excess or wrinkled skin on the upper eyelid, which in some cases even makes it difficult to see
- Swelling of the upper eyelid caused by fatty deposits
- Bags under the lower eyelids
- Drooping lower eyelid
- Excess skin on the lower eyelid
- Fine wrinkles on the lower eyelid
Blepharoplasty cannot lift the eyebrows and reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles, crow's feet or dark circles under the eyes, but it can be combined with other procedures, such as a forehead lift and Botox.

What to expect after the operation? операция на клепачите
Обикновено има оток и насинявания, които отзвучават за 10-15 дни. Леката болка и усещане за дискомфорт обикновено траят 2-3 дни. Конците се свалят на 5-6 ден. Добре е 2-3 седмици да се избягва значително натоварване на очите, работа с компютър. Удачно е носенето на тъмни очила.
Пациент, подложил се на подобна операция може да се върне на работа след 10-15 дни, ако се чувства готов за това. Очите Ви може да са по-чувствителни на светлина и зачервени. Хирургът Ви ще Ви изпише съответните медикаменти. Контактните лещи можете да поставите след две седмици. Спортуването трябва да се отложи за месец. След месец или два Вие ще видите истинският резултат от блефаропластиката: по-свеж и младежки вид, комфортно усещане.
Are there any risks? Всички хирургични намеси носят риск и пластичната хирургия не прави изключение. Сериозни усложнения не са чести, когато операцията се прави от квалифициран пластичен хирург. Обикновено след такава намеса при пациентите се наблюдава усещане за дискомфорт, което се дължи най-вече на отока на клепачите.
Secondary blepharoplasty: Usually it is associated with some complications – ectropion, bad scar, remaining excess skin and may require additional correction.
