BLEPHAROPLASTY: MYTHS DEBUNKED

If you have droopy or saggy eyelids that are affecting your vision or the appearance of your face, eyelid surgery can help you in number of ways.

Ageing does not generate crow’s feet or smile lines, but also cause sagging in the area surrounds the eyelids. Loose skin on the upper eyelids start overlaps the eyelashes and area below the lower eyelids become puffy. Blepharoplasty surgery helps to remove such kind of problems, giving you more youthful appearance.

Eyelid procedure is only for those who want to look better or it is only for women-these are just two examples of common myths and misconceptions surrounding eyelid surgery.

Myth#1: Blepharoplasty will correct all wrinkling

It is a surgical procedure that can remove the excessive fat, but cannot help it to correct eye-wrinkling, dark circles under the eyes or saggy eyebrows. You can undergo additional procedures such as skin resurfacing or brow-lift in order to get more dramatic results along with eyelid-lift.

Myth#2: Insurance companies do not pay for the eyelid-lift up operation

There are exceptions about this myth. This means that many insurance companies take eyelid-lift up as a cosmetic procedure. If you are diagnosed with ptosis (drooping or falling of upper eye-lid due to disease or paralysis), you may be paid by the insurance company as there are greater chances of driving accidents.

For this, you can ask your insurance company to determine if eye-lid lift up surgery could be covered.

Myth #3: Only for women

According to plastic surgeons, men represent a significant proportion of all eyelid surgical procedure. Although, majority of such patients represents female, many men also undergo this operation to improve their vision.

Myth#4: Extremely painful

One thing, I just want to let you know that minor pain is associated with every surgical procedure and the same is with this procedure. Eyelid lift surgery NYC is not associated with extreme pain after having this procedure.

Yes! Patient may experience bruising, swelling, and mild pain, which can be reduced by following the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor.

Many patients revealed that they managed these obvious problems using pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Don’t take medication that can result in thin blood such as aspirin, naproxen or ibuprofen.

Listen and follow carefully all the instructions, given to you by your cosmetic surgeon. It will help quick recovery, leaving you to enjoy your new appearance.
