Relaxed skin in the area of the eyes is a natural aging process, it is also known that the first visible wrinkles on our face form just around the eyes, and the reason is very thin skin, which in these places quickly loses elasticity than other areas of the body. After consultation with your chosen doctor, if this is all right you can undergo this procedure. The duration of the intervention itself is only half an hour and local anesthesia is used.
A doctor’s recommendation is to discontinue or at least reduce your cigarette intake (if you are a smoker) but also to medicines or supplements that increase your risk of bleeding such as Aspirin, Plavix, Sincum, Xarelto, Pradax, Eliquis. At the very beginning of the operation, the doctor marks the location of the incision so that it is later completely hidden and invisible. Removes excess skin, if necessary, and adipose tissue. After the surgery, you can go home the same day. It is likely that this segment will be swollen, but with rest, some painkillers and cold wraps, it will be over, from one to two weeks.
Blurred vision or light sensitivity are some of the transient conditions after surgery, you can mitigate this by using tinted glasses seven to fourteen days after surgery. Which is also recommended so that the scar itself would not be exposed to the sun’s rays. In any case, if the sensitivity persists for more than two to three days you should contact your doctor. Do not use contact lenses for two weeks after surgery. For any additional information, you can schedule an appointment with our specialist physicians who will answer all your concerns.
