The Cost of Blepharoplasty

As aging, the eyelid muscles and adipose tissue sag, and the muscles lose their original strength and elasticity, creating an old and exhausted look as a result. Eyelid cosmetic surgery (blepharoplasty) can create a youthful and attractive appearance and eliminate droopy and puffy eyelids. Blepharoplasty also completely restores the various lost characteristics of the eyelid, such as the elasticity of the eyelid muscles. This surgery is not recommended for people with diabetes, Graves’ disease, hypothyroidism, dry eye syndrome, retinal detachment, glaucoma, and hypertension. If you can’t open your eyes completely due to drooping eyelids, blepharoplasty can be a good option for you, as it is a perfect solution and a durable and long-lasting procedure. By removing the extra tissue from the upper eyelid, the vision improves and the face looks more youthful. Upper and lower blepharoplasty makes the eyes look brighter and younger. In the following, we will discuss the cost of blepharoplasty surgery from The Moj Aramesh Amitis Health Tourism Company.

Ideal Candidates for Cosmetic Blepharoplasty

 

• People with droopy upper blepharo and dilated lower blepharo.
• People with extra tissue on the lower blepharo.
• People who have excessive bagginess and tissue on the upper eyelid, interrupting the vision.

 

Cosmetic Blepharoplasty Results

 

Most people undergoing blepharoplasty are satisfied with the results. Since it results in a more beautiful and younger look, boosts self-confidence, and is also long-lasting. However, in some cases and for some people, drooping eyelids may recur. Bruising and swelling of the eye will subside after ten to fourteen days, but surgical scars may heal and fade months later. For the best results from blepharoplasty surgery, it is advised to protect your delicate eyelid skin from sun exposure. Blepharoplasty surgery usually eliminates the problems of the eyelid forever, but it must be noticed that the aging process can not be stopped, therefore, the aging of the skin around your eyes is unstoppable. However, by proper eye protection and following the doctor’s instructions, the surgery becomes more durable, and ideal results will be achieved. So, do not press or move surgical incisions during your recovery period. Recovery time after surgery depends on the number of incisions made, health status, age, and other factors. Although great results can be achieved with blepharoplasty, sometimes to get better results, reconstructive surgery may be required. The results of upper eyelid surgery last for five to seven years. But lower eyelid surgery may rarely require reconstructive surgery. If experiencing droopy blepharos again after blepharoplasty, forehead lift surgery may be recommended instead of a second eyelid lift.

Most health insurance policies do not cover cosmetic surgeries and procedures, such as blepharoplasty surgery, and its complications.
