According to a report presented by Dr José González Vidal, specialist surgeon in Blepharoplasty and Director of the Ocular Microsurgery Centre of Valencia, one of the main aesthetic problems for men and women is the presence of bags under the eyes.
The study gathers considerations, casuistry, applied techniques and results obtained on 300 Blepharoplasty cases made in eyelids of patients with Dermatochalasis or lower bags.
Dr José González Vidal explains why Blepharoplasty can be necessary for the upper eyelid:
“Amongst other reasons, eyebrows can affect the upper eyelids. So the ‘ptosis’ or drooping eyebrow can also produce drooping upper eyelid. It may look excess skin, but the problem is in the eyebrow and not in the eyelid. This way the eyelid closes right and problems like eye dryness are avoided. Each person has a different look. Therefore it is necessary to study what we expect to get.”
Regarding Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty, Dr José González Vidal emphasises that the most common problem is fat build-up, which is usual until 40 or 50 years old.
“There are three fat packets to be considered. Lack of skin firmness in this congenital area, due to the age. It causes upper fat herniation and therefore the bags or rings around the eyes.”
Both Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty are techniques with a high level of satisfaction amongst their patients. The choice of the most proper technique for each case and the perfect communication and understanding between surgeon and patient are very important factors.
