href=\"https:\/\/www.mallorcamedicalgroup.com\/procedimientos\/cirugia-plastica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plastic surgery<\/a> procedure that seeks to improve the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin and fat pads in the upper and lower eyelids. This surgery is performed mainly for aesthetic reasons, with the objective of restoring a youthful appearance to the eyelids, however, the individuality of each patient must always be preserved, achieving a natural result and avoiding visible scars. In addition to aesthetic reasons, in some cases it is performed for visual reasons, since excess skin on the upper eyelids can reduce the field of vision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BTr1Wrn98zE?si=x3wi41N2-d4lsk93\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Evolution_of_Blepharoplasty_Advances_in_Eyelid_Surgery\"><\/span><strong>2-Evolution of Blepharoplasty: Advances in Eyelid Surgery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blepharoplasty has undergone significant advances in technique over time. Originally, the focus was on skin and fat resection, but nowadays, special attention is paid to the functionality of the eyelids to minimize unwanted effects. Some of the problems that can arise after surgery, such as palpebral incompetence or sinking of the eye, have been reduced thanks to these improvements in technique.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Extended_Blepharoplasty_A_Comprehensive_Approach\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>3-Extended Blepharoplasty:<\/strong> A Comprehensive Approach<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, &#8220;extended blepharoplasty&#8221; procedures are performed that comprehensively address different periocular areas, such as the suborbital fatty tissue, lower fat and lateral canthus. These expanded approaches improve the esthetic outcome and allow for faster recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Blepharoplasty_Techniques_Correcting_Drooping_Eyelids\"><\/span><strong>4-Blepharoplasty Techniques: Correcting Drooping Eyelids<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several blepharoplasty techniques depending on the area to be treated:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Upper Blepharoplasty<\/strong>: This technique is used to correct drooping upper eyelids due to aging, congenital defects, injury or disease. Excess skin and, in some cases, a portion of the underlying orbicularis oculi muscle is removed. Incisions are made in the natural creases of the eyelids to minimize visible scarring.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lower Blepharoplasty<\/strong>: This technique addresses the laxity of the tendon fiber structures, which over time can lead to fat pockets and sagging of the skin and muscles in the lower eyelids.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Complete blepharoplasty<\/strong>: Combines the correction of upper and lower eyelids in a single procedure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Non_Surgical_Blepharoplasty_or_Eyelid_Lift\"><\/span><strong>5-Non Surgical Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Lift<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blepharoplasty without surgery is an option for those patients who do not have a severe case of eye bags. This alternative is suitable for cases of early pocket formation or when surgery is preferred to be avoided. It is important to keep in mind that results are not immediate and require time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Blepharoplasty_Procedure\"><\/span><strong>6-Blepharoplasty Procedure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The blepharoplasty process involves several steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Preoperative:<\/strong> An ophthalmologic examination is performed to evaluate ocular health and medical factors such as allergies and medications in use are considered.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The Intervention:<\/strong> The surgery is customized for each patient&#8217;s individual needs.
