After reading and signing the surgical consent, you will be taken to the observation area where you will be prepared for blepharoplasty. Now you would ask to change for a gown, wear a bonnet to keep hair off from face, and put on a pair of paper booties on the shoes.
Though the nursing people already have a copy of your medical history report and physical checkup report from your blepharoplasty surgeon, keep in mind to talk about any particular or remarkable medical requirements with the nursing staff, including any allergic reactions to medical prescription, problems with unusual bleeding, or any serious cardiopulmonary restrictions.
Before blepharoplasty, surgeon will record blood pressure and pulse and will give you oral sedation. If surgeon uses intravenous sedation for blepharoplasty, then an intravenous line will be put in.
In the operating room, blepharoplasty surgeon will generally be escorted by two staff members normally a surgical assistant and a medical assistant and, if intravenous sedation is used for blepharoplasty, then an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist will be required.
You will be laid down on surgical table and cushioned to feel comfortable. Your face will be washed with an antiseptic, and disinfected surgical robe will wrap all but your brows, eyes, and nose. The blepharoplasty operating room lights will appear excessively bright at first. Depending on strength of sedation for blepharoplasty, you may hear talking between your surgeon and staff and also to you. A blood pressure cuff wrapped up about your arm will pump up periodically.
If you stay awake during your blepharoplasty surgery, you will be asked to keep your eyes closed but at certain times when surgeon will want to examine the effects of work in progress.
If the eye blepharoplasty surgery is performed in local anesthesia, you might feel a little pressure throughout the surgery or nearly no discomfort. If you feel obvious discomfort during blepharoplasty, tell to surgeon, who will be able to insert more local anesthetic.
Once your blepharoplasty surgery is completed, your surgeon will take away the surgical gown, wipe off your face, and lift you up in a semi-reclining position. Surgeon will cover your eyelids with moist and cool gauze pads, which feel very relaxing and soothing. Normally, patients stay in this position for five to ten minutes. After blepharoplasty your surgeon sees no indication of unnecessary bleeding, no excessive pain, and constant vital signs, he may choose you to either move to holding area for additional observation or commonly, place you in a wheelchair to accompany you out to your car.
Surgeon will not apply bandages after blepharoplasty. Instead, he can provide you a pair of sunglasses with dark wrap-around. A nursing member will review all instructions with your car driver and also all instructions given to you in writing.
Most blepharoplasty surgeons provide you with a "goody bag", having items such as sunglasses, an antibiotic gel, a small medication for strong pain, a gel ice-pack, an artificial tears bottle, an additional supply of hygienic gauze, paper of instructions and your appointment card.
If your eye vision is quite blurry or doubled, don’t surprise. This is happening due to the side effects of local anesthetic with sedation, antibiotic ointment and too much tearing. The orbicularis muscles may be weakened for sometime after blepharoplasty surgery, your eyelids may look overdone. Don't worry. This is not the time to evaluate the success of blepharoplasty surgery.

Celebrities turn to Blepharoplasty for baggy Eyelids
Our top most and favorite celebrities always believe to have blepharoplasty to turn their looks fresh and younger. They prefer to undergone blepharoplasty to remove their eye bags and tiredness around their eyes and looks beautiful.
This is the judgment of some blepharoplasty surgeons who have observed the impressive changes in Paul David Hewson (Bono), George Clooney, and many other celebrities that now have different looks especially because of blepharoplasty and other plastic surgery.
Irish rock group U2’s lead singer Bono is no longer using his branded sunglasses now a days and his eyelid bulge and bags have strangely gone, making some surgeons wonder that he has gone under the knife in recent times.
A plastic surgeon in East Anglia (UK), Dr. Lucy Glancey said staining is a general outcome of blepharoplasty procedure that usually remains for nearly six weeks. She told reason why Bono has been covering under his trademark sunglasses for few time.
"I unquestionably think Bono has been undergone lower blepharoplasty which the plaster covered him in the December. He possibly had noticeable bruising under his eye at that time - sometimes people find no bruising after blepharoplasty, or sometimes they get bruising below just one eye, which looks like a black eye. A proper bruising on eye could take up to 6 weeks to make well. This would clarify why Bono has covered under sunglasses for a quite some time," Dr. Lucy Glancey said.
George Clooney, a 45 year old celebrity is another example who’s looking fresher and younger these days. Blepharoplasty may be the main concern why good-looking actor doesn’t look exhausted these days and other argued that this may due to the success of his Ocean’s film series.
Clooney has joked at two occasions about his assumed blepharoplasty. At Cannes, Don Cheadle, the co-star of Clooney in Ocean’s 13, told that he only undergone blepharoplasty for one eye. Clooney replied that he desired to try this first and "gave it a test."
When Julia Roberts interviewed by Oprah Winfrey especially on the Oscars, Clooney again made a joke regarding his blepharoplasty. Julia asked the star what was the most significant change he did in his life and to which Clooney replied, "I had my eyes done through blepharoplasty, Can you tell? I think it’s important to look awake."
Whether Clooney telling us truth or not, his impressive looks is doing all the talking as of these days. George Clooney has removed bulge and fatty bags under his eyes and his eyes are fresher and open than earlier before. He seems to have a full blepharoplasty on his upper as well as lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty seems to be a good solution for baggy eyelids with a reasonable cost and its few possible complications.

Causes of Hollowed Eyelids
Some mid-adult people have excess orbital fat from within their eye socket and eyelids, some other people having noticeably small orbital fat around their eyelids and eye socket from a gentle young age. Even for people born with fuller eyelids, some of them will later on soak up or move fat in their eye socket and grow even more hollowed.
Likewise, patients who have gone through lower or upper blepharoplasty with exclusion of too much orbital fat and muscle may distinguish either instantly or slowly that their lower eyelids have grown-up more hollowed and their upper eyelid creases are growing higher and deeper.
In the earlier period when blepharoplasty performed, such changes have been looked up in the medical literature as a "skeletonized eye" or the "hollow socket disease."
During lower blepharoplasty when over-resection of orbital fat happens to the lower hollowness, the resulting anatomical flow dubbed to change the "orbital flat tire." The higher hollowness in the upper orbit of eye caused by both orbital and sub-eyebrow fat loss with upper blepharoplasty, the term user for this is "eye deformity" to explain its effect on eyelid looks.
While few lower eyelid fullness and a comparatively low upper eyelid fold are signs of youth, visible orbital hollowness make the face appearance older and more sleepy. When hollowness is complex, it may be coupled with inner collapse of the eyelid that makes a variety of eye and eyelid positional irregularities.
However when patients get hollowed by blepharoplasty surgery, they become most unhappy people in all of the plastic and cosmetic surgery. Earlier corrective operations performed after blepharoplasty, have proven unsuccessful operations. In present days, the treatment for orbital hollowness becomes effective and successful.

Reason behind Unsatisfied Patients
The blepharoplasty done every year in the United States has increased more than double in few years. Well-performed blepharoplasty surgery yields a natural-appearing improvement of the most significant feature of the face i.e. eyes with no breaking the bank or putting you out of action for few months at a time. With a skilled blepharoplasty surgeon, the operation is fairly secure comparative to other plastic and cosmetic surgery operations. Recovery from blepharoplasty is relatively painless, and the enhancement is lasting for long.
However, not every patient will be pleased with the outcome of surgery. Of course, some patients may experience blepharoplasty complications due to some reason. Still, there are other patients who have undergone aesthetically and technically with all particulars in a proficient blepharoplasty surgery but at the end remain unhappy. Such patients tend to come under several categories:
• The patients who prefer blepharoplasty to appear naturally fresher but then they only found its predictable result as "different"
• The patients who actually wish to look different rather naturally fresher but did not achieve that unachievable fantasy shape.
• The patients who undergo blepharoplasty for their eyelids to look like those people who are especially a model or celebrity.
• Those patients who thought surgical accuracy is perfect and absolute.
• The patients who think healing from blepharoplasty is a fast and effortless process.
• The patients who think blepharoplasty surgeons are magicians rather than professional doctors.
• The patients who demanded a conformist result from blepharoplasty but then were unhappy about their probable "undercorrection"
• Those aged patients having advanced changes or damaged tissues or unhealthy eyes and they gone under blepharoplasty.
• The patients with few visible facial problems such like a droopy and bulgy face which require face lift.
• The patients with psychological problems.
