Lower Blepharoplasty in Thailand
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty removes fat deposits and loose skin that may accumulate on the lower eyelids with age. An incision is made along the lash line and in the grin crease. Excess fat, muscle, and skin are eliminated. Fine sutures are used to seal the wound.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty can take between one and three hours to accomplish, depending on the technique and depth of healing.
After surgery, the physician will use ointment to alleviate dryness in the eyes. Applying the ointment may briefly obscure your vision. Rest peacefully with your head raised on the first evening following surgery. It is beneficial to apply cold compresses to your eyelids. Your blood
Monitor pressure to prevent bleeding issues, which can impair eyesight and gradually limit activity. Wear dark sunglasses for a few weeks to shield your eyes from wind and sun discomfort.

You will receive eye drops to alleviate burning sensations and itching. For the first week, avoid watching TV, wearing contacts, and using the computer. For the first 3-4 weeks, avoid activities that stimulate blood flow to the eyes, such as bending, lifting, crying, or sports.

Potential risks and complications:
Complications are uncommon, although there are risks inherent with every medical procedure. Complications may include infection, hemorrhage (rarely leading to vision loss), prominent scars, asymmetry in healing or scarring, dryness, decreased sensation in the eyelids, difficulties shutting the eyes, anesthetic response, and blindness. To reduce risks, follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions before and after eyelid surgery. Pre-existing conditions may also put you at danger. These conditions include hypothyroidism, dry eyes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
Anesthesia use:
General or local anesthesia, with slight sedation.
Hospital admission:
It relies on both your and your surgeon’s preferences. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty can be performed as an outpatient procedure, in a hospital setting, or in an ambulatory surgery suite.
Preparation Before Surgery
During consultation, a medical history (including allergies, major medical conditions, and prescriptions) will be assessed, followed by a physical examination and laboratory tests.
Avoid smoking for 3-4 weeks before surgery as it disrupts circulation and slows healing.
You may need to abstain from alcohol for a week prior to surgery and during recuperation.
Avoid using medications including hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids, and vitamins for at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complications before surgery.
Avoid using aspirin, anti-inflammatory medicines, and herbal supplements as they can cause more bleeding.
