Upper Blepharoplasty-No Ectropion Risk

The anatomy of both upper and lower eyelids is almost similar and also the aging process for both is similar, but refreshing the eyelids is dissimilar whether you from north or south. The upper blepharoplasty procedure is quite simpler as compared to the lower blepharoplasty procedure.
Lower eyelid is suspended from one side to other of the eyebone, excessive skin removal or aggressive surgical behavior, may result in pull down after blepharoplasty as it heals. This condition is called “Ectropion”. Ectropion may cause eye irritation and tearing because eyelid should be tucked up close to eyeball. Eyelid provides lubrication to the eyeball when we blink it. So, a very small gap between the eyelid and eyeball can cause this Ectropion. In old age people, the lower eyelid is not that much strong as in the youth age, the Ectropion condition may be significant. To avoid this problem in lower blepharoplasty tendon is tightened that attach the eyelid to the eyebone.
The upper blepharoplasty does not cause Ectropion condition as in lower blepharoplasty. In upper blepharoplasty, no risk of the eyelid pulls down from eyeball in excess skin removal and excessive skin can be removed. Much more skin removal from upper eyelid in upper blepharoplasty rarely causes any problem. The details of upper blepharoplasty are all in the design and placement of the incisions and the removal pattern of skin and muscle. Incisions placement on the upper eyelid has too much importance. Incisions made too much low may be noticeable and incisions made too much high may results in unnatural appearance after blepharoplasty. Also incision placement on both the eyelids must be similar to make a good looking matched set.
The advantage of upper blepharoplasty is that it is extremely effective, very simple to get performed and has less risk of complications. The good thing about this surgery is almost painless. After upper blepharoplasty, there will be little swelling and bruising for a week or max two, but good results will remains for many years.
