Why Perform Blepharoplasty Surgery?
Blepharoplasty Dubai | 4 May 2019
Blepharoplasty can be performed for any of the following reasons,
– The ‘tired’ look is the most common reason that patients opt for blepharoplasty surgery. The heaviness of the eyelids and bags under the eyes give the appearance of a constantly exhausted and tired appearance.
– The appearance of the eyelids may be asymmetrical and blepharoplasty may be performed to improve symmetry.
– Saggy upper eyelid skin can obstruct the visual field (you may not be able to see the full extent of your lateral vision) so blepharoplasty is performed to remove this obstruction and improve vision.
– There are several disfiguring conditions such as Thyroid Eye Disease which require blepharoplasty surgery to restore the natural appearance of the eyes. This type of surgery is highly specialised.
How Is Eyelid Blepharoplasty Surgery Performed?
Experience and expertise are required to execute all forms of blepharoplasty surgery. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a procedure offering rapid recovery. The blepharoplasty incision is measured and marked. Variable amounts of skin, underlying muscle and fat are removed, or if there is pre-existing upper eyelid hollowness, these tissues can be repositioned to fill the hollows in order to achieve a pleasing and youthful appearance of the eyelid and to improve the visual field. After the desired amount of excision is accomplished, buried dissolvable stitches are used and the skin surface is closed. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a more involved procedure requiring an incision under the eyelash line, running beyond the corner of the eye. Excess skin, muscle and fat can then be removed or repositioned through this incision. Sometimes, particularly for younger patients, the main aesthetic issue is the underlying fat bulge. In these cases, a transconjunctival ‘scarless’ approach through the inside of the eyelid is preferred.
The skin closure is made using either removable sutures or with glue, meaning that sometimes no suture removal is required. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery is most often performed under local anesthesia either with or without sedation. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, or general anaesthesia if the patient prefers. When having both upper and lower eyelid surgery together.
Botox® – Get a Rejuvenated Appearance Now
Fillers in Dubai | 2 May 2019
The medical form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by the product name Botox®, is an effective treatment used to temporarily reduce or eliminate the muscle activity responsible for dynamic lines and wrinkles in the face. Botulinum toxin A is a purified neurotoxin protein produced by the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium. It acts at the junctions between nerves and muscles, to block the release of the chemical messenger (acetylcholine) which normally causes the muscles to contract.
Muscle relaxing injections
Injections of small quantities of botulinum toxin reduces muscle activity, which in turn softens skin lines and contours and gives a more refreshed appearance. Effects are not permanent, but will usually last up to four months. The treatment is effective against moderate to severe dynamic facial lines, such as forehead creases, frown lines, “crows feet” and against vertical neck bands, but usually has no effect on fine superficial skin lines or folds of excess skin.
Suitable candidates
Botulinum toxin may benefit patients requiring a light facial rejuvenation, muscle relaxation or treatment for hyperhidrosis (abnormal perspiration). Patients are generally aged from their late twenties up into their sixties, with good skin elasticity. Treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation.
