Transconjunctival blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids is an ideal method for eliminating aesthetic defects. When to do fat-sparing blepharoplasty The most common complications

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a method of sutureless surgical intervention, in which access to the underlying skin structures is carried out through the conjunctiva, without trauma to the skin of the eyelid. This method is considered one of the most gentle and effective. At the same time, patients practically do not experience pain, and the rehabilitation period is only 7-10 days.

Despite the fact that all manipulations are performed in the immediate vicinity of the eye, they do not affect visual acuity in any way. But it should be remembered that in the presence of farsightedness, myopia and other ophthalmic diseases, you should definitely tell your doctor about it.

What to choose, traditional or transconjunctival blepharoplasty?

Despite the fact that the seamless operation seems to be preferable, in some cases it is still inferior to the traditional one. So, for example, with too pronounced excess of overstretched skin of the lower eyelids, seamless plastic surgery is completely useless, while the traditional one allows you to almost completely remove such defects. But when it comes to young people whose skin is quite elastic, then the transconjunctival method is undoubtedly much more preferable.

Indications, benefits and preparatory measures

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery, the main purpose of which is the correction and removal of age-related changes in the skin of the eyelids, as well as the correction of defects that interfere with everyday life.

List of indications

The immediate desire of the patient himself (the presence of any cosmetic defects that cause psychological discomfort, but do not affect health);
Hernias of the lower eyelid;
Ptosis correction;
Excessive stretching of the skin of the paraorbital region, with the formation of pronounced bags under the eyes.

Benefits of transconjunctival blepharoplasty

Low trauma during blepharoplasty;
Absence of sutures at the site of operational access;
A very short rehabilitation period, which is only one to one and a half weeks, after which the swelling of the eyelids almost completely subsides;
Low risk of complications. The risk of ectropion (lower eyelid eversion) is practically zero, and the seamless method ensures the absence of scarring in the future;
The result of the operation is natural and not striking.

Required preparation

Despite the fact that transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a low-traumatic and gentle procedure, it still requires a preoperative examination and consultation with an ophthalmologist. As before any surgical intervention, before blepharoplasty it is necessary:

Pass all tests (general blood test, urine test, biochemical blood test);
Stop taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin) at least three weeks before surgery;
Two weeks before the planned blepharoplasty, you need to stop tanning and limit the use of alcoholic beverages to the maximum;
It is highly recommended to completely stop drinking alcohol and smoking a few days before the operation;
Before the operation, plan your affairs for the next 3-7 days in order to ensure a full recovery;
Consult an ophthalmologist (especially if you have vision problems or any eye disease).

When to Avoid Surgery

Any acute diseases and chronic diseases in the acute phase;
The period of menstruation in women;
High intraocular and arterial pressure;
Xerosis of the eye ("dry eye");
Diabetes;
Oncological diseases;
Systemic blood diseases;
Violation of the function of blood coagulation;
Thyroid disease;
Any immunodeficiency condition, including HIV and AIDS.

Features of surgical intervention

The duration of all manipulations rarely exceeds 1-1.5 hours. Both upper and lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty are performed under local anesthesia, which ensures complete painlessness for the entire period of the operation. The patient is discharged from the hospital after 5-7 hours.

Access during this operation is carried out by two methods: traditional scalpel and using a cutting laser (laser blepharoplasty).

Scheme of lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty

To correct defects of the upper eyelid, an incision is made on the inside of the eyelid (the conjunctiva is cut), after which a special endoscope is inserted there, with which it is produced. This allows you to remove the overhang of the fold and manually model the shape of the eyebrows. In order for the effect to remain as long as possible, in some cases (in aged patients with insufficiently elastic skin), implants are used. After the operation, there are no stitches left, and the result is in no way inferior to that of percutaneous blepharoplasty.

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty of the lower eyelid

The surgeon makes an inconspicuous incision behind the eyelash line (on the conjunctiva), without the use of additional external incisions. The fat sac is removed through the incision made on the inside of the eye. After the operation, patients do not have any scars and visible signs of the surgical intervention.

Postoperative period and recovery

Due to the peculiarities of access and the low-impact nature of the operation itself, the recovery period is only 7-10 days. At this time, there may be postoperative swelling of the eyes, a feeling of discomfort and irritation of the eyes with the suture material remaining after the operation.

Removal of stitches is carried out for 2-6 days;
From the 7th day you can already go to work;
Within 10 days, bruising and swelling may remain under the eyes;
The first week should limit physical activity, including sports, cleaning, reading books and watching television;
From the 8th day it is possible to use hypoallergenic cosmetics;
Within 14 days you can not sunbathe both in the sun and in the solarium;
Before 21 days it is not recommended to use contact lenses;
During the month, strongly hot showers, baths, saunas and pools should be avoided;
Sunglasses must be worn for three months to protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation.

Possible Complications

Like any other operation, transconjunctival blepharoplasty is associated with a number of surgical complications, which are not always avoided. Among the most common complications are:

Suppuration of the paraorbital region;
Violation of pigmentation at the site of exposure;

In general, the risk of complications is very low and with proper rehabilitation, they practically do not occur.

results

The duration of the preservation of the result depends both on the technique of the operation itself and on the lifestyle of the patient. On average, transconjunctival blepharoplasty gives results for 7-10 years.

“Your eyes are like two fogs, like two jumps from the darkness ...” Every woman, listening to the loving voice of Valery Obodzinsky, imagines that he sings about her. And it is she who is called a sorceress, because she cannot take her eyes off her bright, radiant, deep, wide-open eyes.

About such eyes - clear, with a veil, about a wave of winged eyelashes, about a radiant look, a lot has been sung and said. And I want to talk and talk more. But by the eyes you can determine not only the beauty of the human soul and the charm of the image, the eyes loudly and clearly inform others about your age. And the main informants are dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness, bags under the eyes, hanging eyelids.

There comes a day when tea bags, raw potatoes and parsley gruel do not save from the “tired eyes” syndrome - skin folds formed along the entire eyelid or in the outer corners of the eyes make the look heavy, make-up ineffective, the face is not young.

It is difficult to get used to a bleak reflection in the mirror, and is it worth it - if there is a lower blepharoplasty, aesthetic eyelid surgery. It is called the quintessence of surgical correction of wrinkles in the eye area - this is one of the most difficult and filigree surgical interventions, the result of which completely depends on the hands of the surgeon.

All modern theories about aging claim that lipoatrophy occurs with age - a decrease in the fat layer on the face, which is aggravated and progresses especially rapidly if an adult loses weight quickly. Therefore, excessive removal of fatty “hernias” on the eyelids during blepharoplasty in aged patients leads to the formation of deep, sunken, “senile” eyes. For true rejuvenation of the periorbital area, upper blepharoplasty must be combined with lipofilling of the eyes, and lower blepharoplasty should be performed in a fat-saving version, or supplemented with lipofilling of the nasolacrimal sulcus and / or lipofilling of the cheekbones.

Fat-saving lower blepharoplasty allows you to eliminate excess skin, bags and bruises under the eyes, as well as fill a deep nasolacrimal groove, forming a smooth transition "lower eyelid - cheekbone".

The operation "fat-sparing blepharoplasty" lasts from forty minutes to one and a half hours. During the operation, excess skin on the eyelids is removed, bags under the eyes are eliminated. Incisions on the lower eyelid become invisible after two weeks. The postoperative incision turns into an inconspicuous thin suture "in a thread", which is easily hidden under the lash line on the lower eyelid.

LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY TECHNIQUE

Figure 1. View of the patient before surgery. Age-related changes in the lower eyelids are schematically reflected: bags and bruises under the eyes, excess skin, a network of small wrinkles and a deep nasolacrimal groove.
Figure 2. Preoperative markings. Marking is performed directly in the operating room. The incision on the lower eyelid is located in the same way as when performing the classic lower blepharoplasty, stepping back 1 mm below the ciliary edge. Thus, the located postoperative scar is easily masked by makeup. The length of the incision depends on the excess, as well as the condition of the skin on the lower eyelid - the worse the elasticity and firmness, the longer the incision. With very strongly stretched skin, the blepharoplasty incision slightly extends beyond the boundaries of the palpebral fissure, and, in the future, will create the effect of a finely drawn arrow.

Figure 3. Skin section along the marking lines.

Figure 4. Isolation of three packs of fatty hernias on the lower eyelid and removal of the outer one.

Before starting fat-sparing blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids, regardless of whether the operation is performed under local or general anesthesia, infiltration of the tissues of the lower eyelid is always performed. To facilitate tissue detachment and reduce their trauma during surgery, the plastic surgeon very slowly, with a thin needle, injects a special solution, the main component of which is saline with the addition of an anesthetic (additional anesthesia) and adrenaline (vasospasm will reduce bleeding and prolong the duration of local anesthesia).

After that, along the marking lines, an incision is made with a scalpel. Then, tissue detachment is carefully performed to the lower edge of the orbit. Three packages of fatty hernias are alternately allocated: internal, middle and external. The external fatty hernia is excised, and its base is coagulated.

Figure 5. Internal and middle fatty hernias are exposed, freed from the surrounding tissues, flattened and sutured with a non-absorbable suture.

Figure 6. Fat packs move below the orbital edge of the orbit and are fixed to the periosteum, and the ends of the threads are brought out to the skin and tied together.

Figure 7. Final fixation of fat pads and removal of nodules on the skin. After that, excess skin on the lower eyelid is determined and excised.

The internal and middle fatty hernias are released, evenly distributed in the form of a tape and fixed on one side to the periosteum of the infraorbital margin, and on the other side to the skin. The fatty hernias moved in this way will reliably fill the deep nasolacrimal groove, prevent eye retraction and ensure smooth contours. As a result, 2-3 nodules appear on the skin, which will be removed on the 5th day and will not leave marks, but this time will be enough to form strong bonds (adhesions) inside the tissues that will firmly hold the fat complex in a new position.

Figure 8. Intradermal stitching of the surgical wound.

Figure 9. View of the patient after fat-sparing blepharoplasty.

Usually, freed from the underlying tissues, the skin contracts rapidly, and what seems to be a huge excess quickly decreases after a short time. Therefore, the volume of skin to be excised is determined only at the end of the operation. Removal is performed with sharp scissors, which will ensure smooth edges of the postoperative wound. Finally, hemostasis is checked.

On 12/17/2013, she underwent upper and lower transconjunctival blepharo with redistribution of fat. I wanted to make a classic, but the dock dissuaded me in order to leave the possibility for correcting external defects (when they appear, of course) in the future. I still have the same Vidocq *Yes* I even wear glasses at home so as not to scare my family

And in general, can the seams be convex for a while, or should this not be? I'm more worried about that than the redness. The redness will go away...

In fact, you need to get used to the eyes ... My husband said that my eyes are similar, as if I had drunk
I no longer have edema)) This is not a permanent state of a tipsy woman. Sometimes, when I get tired during the day or don’t get enough sleep ... In general, I like eyes) The fold, as I understand it, is the same, but the skin that hangs from this fold for everyone in different quantities sometimes hides this very crease (as I always had). And now, when the skin was cut off, the fold opened along with the eyelid.

The story of the patient "Rahmatulka" is taken from the forum.

Correction of the shape and appearance of the upper eyelids allows you to restore the look of openness and greater depth, and for this reason, fat-preserving blepharoplasty is very popular today. This type of plastic surgery can be used to make the eyes and look more attractive, as well as to eliminate age-related changes and the consequences of accidents or certain diseases (for example, entropion).

The execution technique may vary slightly depending on the desired result, which should be obtained as a result of this type of blepharoplasty. However, the general principle of this type of surgical intervention provides both a pronounced positive result and a relatively short period of rehabilitation.

What is fat-sparing blepharoplasty

Correction of the shape of the upper eyelids, eye section, in which excess fatty tissue is removed from a certain part of the eye (mainly the upper eyelid) with an even distribution of the remaining part of it is called fat-preserving blepharoplasty. This surgical operation is performed by a plastic surgeon, who, before performing it, conducts an external examination of the area in need of correction, and prescribes a series of tests that allow us to get a complete picture of the patient's health.

The purpose of this type of intervention should be considered to give the eye or upper eyelid a more refined and close to the ideal of beauty form, the removal of excess skin folds, which gives the look gloominess and closeness. Also, with the help of fat-saving blepharoplasty, it becomes possible to significantly correct the shape and section of the eye; this operation is often performed to eliminate the Asian section of the eyes.

concept

Such a concept as fat-preserving blepharoplasty appeared in medical terminology simultaneously with the introduction of the concept of blepharoplasty, which is designed to remove excess skin around the eyes, in this area. With significant potential to make the face more attractive, fat-preserving blepharoplasty is performed in most major medical centers specializing in plastic surgery.

However, for this operation, a doctor must examine the general condition of the patient, in the presence of certain conditions and diseases, this intervention may not be applicable. Knowing the contraindications for fat-sparing blepharoplasty will help prevent the risk of possible side effects of this type of surgery.

Contraindications

Contraindications to eyelid and eye correction surgery using fat-sparing blepharoplasty include the following conditions:

inflammatory processes in the body and in the area of influence, especially in the acute stage;
age up to 18 years, when the organs and parts of the body have not yet fully formed and have not taken their final form;
the period of pregnancy, as well as breastfeeding a newborn;
, especially the presence of malignant neoplasms in the eye and eyelids.

Serious hormonal disorders (for example,), psychological and mental illnesses are additional contraindications to fat-preserving blepharoplasty.

How much is enough

The period of time during which the obtained positive effect of fat-preserving blepharoplasty is maintained may vary in different patients. But on average it is from 5 to 10 years. For a longer and better preservation of the effect of the operation, it is recommended to follow the recommendations of the doctor performing this intervention, and lead a healthy lifestyle, take proper care of the eyes,.

Indications

The operation under consideration to correct the shape of the eye and upper, and is also prescribed by a surgeon, who first conducts an external examination of the eyes and eyelids, analyzes the general health of the patient, and reveals the presence or absence of pathologies of the eyes and vision. Indications for surgery include the following conditions:

the presence in the corners of the eyes, mainly on the upper eyelid, benign neoplasms -. They are accumulations of fat particles and have the appearance of rounded neoplasms, most often their appearance is recorded in diabetics and people whose blood cholesterol levels are high;
in the eye area, which are an elongated mole, hanging over the eyes mainly from the upper eyelid. Such ;
and - benign neoplasms that form in places of a total lack of adipose tissue. They are small neoplasms mainly in the corners of the eyes and on the upper eyelid of a rounded shape and a yellowish tint;
chalazion is a neoplasm of a benign nature, which outwardly represents a cyst. If its size is less than 5 mm, the chalazion does not pose a danger to the patient's health, however, if it acquires large sizes, there is a high risk of malignancy, therefore it is recommended to remove this neoplasm to prevent infection of the skin of the eyelids in the future.

With the formation of skin folds and fatty deposits on the eyelids, which make the look less open, not caused by certain organic lesions, a tendency to form, it is also recommended to perform an operation to correct the eyelids and eyes using fat-preserving blepharoplasty.

Comparison with similar methods

Along with the fat-saving option of blepharoplasty of the eyelids, which is rightfully considered the most advanced method of combating age-related changes, today several more types of surgical treatment are offered to patients in order to correct the shape of the eyes and eyelids. These include:

, which can be considered one of the most gentle methods of influencing the eyes and eyelids. When it is carried out, the surgeon influences the tissues adjacent to the eye in order to evenly distribute fatty tissue, remove fat accumulation sites. When such an intervention is carried out, the impact on the conjunctiva is carried out, which makes it possible to prevent serious injury to the tissues of the eye. This type of operation is seamless, after it is relatively short.
Introduction to the eye area of special substances (fillers) in the form of gels, which also provide leveling of the surface of the skin by smoothing and. This option of exposure allows you not even to use any type of anesthesia, which preserves the health of the patient and does not cause the risk of possible side effects.
, which refers to one of the most radical options for influencing the eyes and eyelids. The effectiveness of such an intervention is high, but there are a number of risks during the operation. It is also distinguished by a fairly long recovery process.
Eyelid resection– this operation is performed by excising part of the eyelids, which form ugly skin folds and spoil the appearance of the face and make the look heavier.

All of the above options for exposure are in deserved demand, however, the type of surgical intervention should be determined by the doctor who will carry it out, based on an external examination of the eyes and eyelids and the analyzes obtained.

Operation

The course of this surgical intervention involves a certain preparatory period and the intervention itself. The course of the operation is controlled by a doctor, the process of preparation and rehabilitation is also compiled by a specialist.

Preparation

Immediately before the fat-saving blepharoplasty, the patient should spend a fasting day, limit the amount of food taken. This is necessary in order for the body to quickly and adequately perceive the anesthesia administered during the intervention.
Within a few days before the operation, it is necessary to give up bad habits (do not smoke or drink alcohol), do not take strong medications.
A number of tests are prescribed - with their help, the doctor receives the most complete picture of the patient's health:
In the presence of inflammatory processes in the body, especially at the stage of their exacerbation, with serious pathologies of the internal organs, the operation is postponed or canceled.
On the day of the operation, you should completely refuse any kind of food and drink.

How is it made

The process of carrying out the operation for fat-preserving bepharoplasty is carried out according to a certain scheme.

After the introduction of anesthesia, the type and amount of which is calculated by the doctor based on the existing condition of the eyes and eyelids, the age and weight of the patient, the amount of work that needs to be done, the tissues of the treated area are dissected.
The surgeon removes excess eyelid skin, evenly distributes the existing adipose tissue in this part of the eye.
The uniformity of the distribution of the fat pad around the eye, capturing the upper and lower eyelids, the correction of the lacrimal canal significantly rejuvenates the look, makes the eye younger.
After excision and distribution of adipose tissue, the incision sites are connected and surgical sutures are applied. The rehabilitation process should take place under the supervision of a doctor.

results

The effectiveness of the considered method of correcting the shape of the eyes and the appearance of the eyelids during the air-preserving type of blepharoplasty is quite high. The result becomes noticeable immediately after the rehabilitation period, its preservation is guaranteed for at least 6-8 years.

After this type of intervention, the removal of skin folds on the upper eyelid is noted, the look becomes more open, “bags” under the eyes and dark circles disappear.

Rehabilitation

The recovery period for tissues damaged during exposure is 4-9 weeks, during which all recommendations of the surgeon who performed the intervention should be followed. During the rehabilitation period, it is necessary to adhere to the following recommendations:

completely abandon bad habits (smoking and drinking alcohol);
take drugs prescribed by a doctor, which will ensure that there is no possibility of infection of the body - these can be various antibacterial drugs;
suture sites should be treated with disinfectant solutions for several days after the intervention;
during the entire recovery period, it is necessary to abandon significant physical exertion, strain on the eyes - limit reading, staying in front of the TV and computer screen.

Consequences and complications

The result of fat-preserving blepharoplasty is not long in coming: already after the end of the rehabilitation period, a change in the patient's gaze becomes noticeable, overhanging skin folds on the upper eyelid are eliminated, dark circles under the gases disappear.

However, there may be some risk of such an intervention. The probable ones are:

tearing;
increased dryness of the eyes;
incomplete closing of the eye;
eversion of the lower eyelid;
visual impairment, in rare cases - blindness.

These complications should be taken into account when prescribing this type of correction of the shape of the eye and eyelid.

How much does it cost and where is it made

This type of operation is performed in most clinics specializing in plastic surgery. The cost may vary depending on the pricing policy of the institution, on average it ranges from 16,000 to 28,000 rubles, depending on the area of impact.

Fat-preserving blepharoplasty is performed in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Rostov, Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod, and the choice of a doctor should be based on the reputation of a specialist, his practical experience in this field.

It can hardly be considered an adornment of a woman. Nevertheless, a huge number of the fair sex is faced with similar problems. Sagging skin under the eyes gives the face a tired look. Is there any way to fix the defect? Modern plastic surgery helps to remove bags. But what about women who are not ready for a full-scale operation? There is a solution - a new procedure called transconjunctival blepharoplasty.

Of course, many people are interested in questions about what this technique is and what its advantages are.

What is transconjunctival blepharoplasty?

Bags under the eyes are a problem faced by thousands of people. Their presence gives the face a chronically tired look, and adds a few years to the woman. There is an opinion that the presence of sagging under the eyes is the result of aging. This is not entirely true, because even twenty-year-old girls often turn to cosmetologists with similar complaints. The fact is that under the muscles in the eye area contains fatty tissue. Excess fluid can also accumulate here, which leads to the formation of bags.

Transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a relatively new procedure. Its essence is to remove fatty deposits and fluid from the subcutaneous space through an incision in the mucous membrane of the eye (conjunctiva). Thus, tissue damage during surgery is minimal. Despite the fact that all manipulations are carried out close to the structures of the eye, the operation does not affect vision in any way.

The main indications for the procedure

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is perceived as a cosmetic procedure. Indeed, this technique allows you to remove defects, make your eyes more expressive, increase self-esteem and improve your emotional state. The desire of the patient is enough for the doctor to begin to conduct tests and draw up a procedure plan.

On the other hand, there are some medical indications in which surgeons themselves recommend agreeing to an operation. These include ptosis and hernia of the lower eyelid. The procedure is performed for patients with excessive stretching of the skin in the paraorbital region.

What are the advantages of the technique?

The technique of the operation has a number of important advantages. To begin with, it is worth saying that the procedure does not require suturing. The tissues are less injured, and therefore the rehabilitation period is much shorter. Reviews indicate that bruising and swelling disappear after 10-14 days. Moreover, the patients do not leave scars.

Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty, for example, minimizes the risk of lower eyelid ectropion, while this side effect is likely with conventional surgery. The result of the procedure looks more natural, and therefore patients are satisfied.

Preparation for surgery

Despite the fact that the procedure is considered one of the safest, it is still necessary to undergo a complete medical examination before it, check for contraindications, pass all tests and consult an ophthalmologist. You need to plan a schedule, given that recovery after the procedure will last about 7-10 days.

There are other rules that are important to follow. A few days before the operation, you need to stop taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, drinking alcohol and smoking. And two weeks before the procedure, it is recommended to limit the time in the sun or at least wear high-quality sunglasses.

Brief description of the procedure and its features

To date, transconjunctival blepharoplasty of the lower and upper eyelids is performed. By the way, the procedure takes place under local anesthesia, and the patient is conscious all the time. The operation on average lasts 1-1.5 hours.

As for the features, the incision of the mucous membrane can be performed both with a scalpel and a laser beam (a more modern, faster and safer technique). A special endoscope is inserted through the incision into the subcutaneous space, with the help of which the doctor extracts excess fluid and fat deposits. If performed, the surgeon gently tightens the skin in the superciliary region, and sometimes inserts small implants.

It is worth saying that the operation is usually recommended for young patients with elastic skin. If the tissues in the paraorbital region are strongly stretched, then in such cases their removal is necessary, which means that only seamless methods cannot be dispensed with.

The patient is discharged from the hospital after 5-7 hours. Naturally, after this it is necessary to regularly come for examinations, but basically you can begin to return to your usual life.

How is the recovery period going?

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a relatively simple and safe procedure. The recovery period lasts about two weeks. However, it is important to follow some rules, as this helps to reduce the likelihood of complications.

To begin with, it is worth saying that after the procedure, swelling and bruising remain under the eyes. This is a completely normal phenomenon, which, as a rule, disappears without a trace after 7-10 days. Already on day 7, you can go to work and gradually return to a normal pace of life.

Naturally, in the first week you should be careful. It is recommended to give up hard physical work, reading books, limit TV viewing. In the second week, you can start using cosmetics, but it must be of high quality and hypoallergenic. For three weeks, you can not wear contact lenses, stay in the sun for a long time or use the services of a solarium. Saunas, baths, pools in the first month after the operation are contraindicated. It is extremely important during this period to use sunglasses every time you need to go outside.

Possible complications after surgery

Despite the fact that transconjunctival blepharoplasty is considered one of the most sparing procedures, it is still a surgical intervention, and therefore the possibility of complications cannot be ruled out.

During the operation, there is always the possibility of infection in the tissues. This technique is considered relatively safe and infectious complications after it are recorded extremely rarely. On the other hand, this is possible. Complications include suppuration of the tissues of the paraorbital region, which, again, is associated with tissue infection.

In some women, increased pigmentation then appears at the site of exposure. Dark spots on the skin are also not pleasant for the patient. Correctly performed procedure and implementation of all recommendations during rehabilitation reduces the likelihood of complications to a minimum.

Are there contraindications?

It should be understood that, like any other surgical intervention, this procedure has contraindications. So in what cases should you refuse transconjunctival eyelid blepharoplasty?

Contraindications include any acute infectious and inflammatory diseases, as well as chronic ailments at the acute stage (in such cases it is better to undergo the necessary course of therapy and wait for recovery).

The operation is not performed during menstruation.

Xerosis of the eyes (dryness of the mucous membrane) is also a limitation to the therapy.

The procedure is not performed if the patient has high blood pressure or intraocular pressure.

Contraindications include systemic blood diseases, as well as a violation of its coagulation (high risk of bleeding).

In the presence of AIDS, the procedure is not carried out.

Contraindications also include oncological diseases, diabetes mellitus and hormonal disruptions (especially when it comes to thyroid diseases).

That is why before the appointment of the operation it is important to undergo a complete examination.

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty: prices

Probably, for many patients the decisive moment is the cost of the operation. It should be said right away that the exact price is almost impossible to name. Everything here depends on the financial policy of the aesthetic medicine clinic you applied to, the surgeon, the equipment used, and the city of residence. The cost depends on whether a circular procedure or only transconjunctival blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids is performed. Reviews indicate that prices range from 30 to 60 thousand rubles. This procedure is becoming more and more popular every year.

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty: patient reviews

Of course, a lot of useful information can be obtained by talking with patients who have already undergone the procedure and the rehabilitation period. So what are the impressions, for example, of transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty? The reviews are mostly positive.

The procedure itself is usually quick and smooth, but bruising and swelling around the eyes may take a few days. On the other hand, almost all patients claim that the face after the operation looks completely different: the signs of aging and the tired expression disappear, the eyes become larger, brighter and more expressive. In a word, people are satisfied with the results. By the way, depending on the individual characteristics of the body, the absence of bags under the eyes can be enjoyed for 7-10 years after surgery.

There are no negative reviews. There is no discomfort or pain associated with transconjunctival eyelid blepharoplasty. But patients point out that it is extremely important to find a really experienced and talented surgeon, otherwise, the results can be unpredictable.
