THE AGING PROCESS AND HOW WE CAN COMBAT IT GRACEFULLY
The aging process can do a real number on you. It can cause saggy skin. It can cause wrinkles to develop. It can even cause major fat deposits to build up. This happens to everyone. It can happen to any part of the body, most especially in the eyes.
It doesn’t matter how well you take care of yourself, it’s bound to happen. It can bring some very undesirable results to your eyes very quickly. You wake up looking tired. You wake up looking older than you really are. What can we say, the skin will begin to lose it’s elasticity at a certain point.
There is a way to combat this though…..
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM EYELID REJUVENATION SURGERY FROM AN OC DERMATOLOGIST
There is something called Blepharoplasty, which is a surgical procedure that helps to aid in eye rejuvenation. This procedure deals with both the upper and lower lids. The doctor will go in an remove the unwanted fatty deposits. It’s that simple. FYI: This can be done on other areas of your face too.
HOW IS BLEPHAROPLASTY PERFORMED?
There is a line made in the natural crease of the upper eye. The doctor will open it up and remove the excess fat. It’s a two-hour procedure. It can be done on an out-patient basis. The lower lid is done by using local anesthesia. The upper lids is done using the general anesthesia.
Afterwards, the line is saturated and the skin is restored to it’s normal look.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS
In most cases, a person can return to normal activities after the procedure. The one trick is not to put any strain on your eyes for about one to two weeks. This means limiting TV watching. Limit what you do at work. Limit your time in front of the computer or mobile device.
After 5 days or more the stitches will be taken out. There might be some minor discomfort. That’s about it. If you need to, alternate hot and cold compacts every few hours. This is only for the really extreme cases.
