All About The Surgical Procedure
If you think you are a candidate for hooded eye surgery or blepharoplasty, then do not think twice and visit Dr Tahir in Dubai for consultation. Dr Tahir would like to learn about your expectations, do a detailed face analysis and answer your queries about hooded eyes surgery.
He would also ask for a detailed medical history to curate a surgery and take extra precautions for any specific condition.
The procedure for surgery is as follows:
Pre-op Preparation
- Get some lab tests done
- Make adjustments in current medications and prescribe certain other medications
- Discontinue medications including herbal supplements, aspirin, and anti-inflammatory drugs
- Ask to follow a specific diet plan to prepare your eye for surgery
Step 1: Anesthesia
The surgeon will inject anaesthesia into the surgical site to numb the region during surgery.
Step 2: Incision
The surgeon will mark the areas around the eye to make incisions. Then very diligently, the surgeon makes an incision according to the type of eyelid surgery; for example: for the upper eyelid, the surgeon will make an incision along the natural crease of the upper eyelid, while in the lower eyelid surgery, the incision is made right below the lower eyelash. Then the surgeon will make necessary alterations and removal in the skin’s folds, muscles, fat, and tissue to seek results.
Step 3: Closing Incisions
Finally, the surgeon adjusts the skin’s fold and closes the incision with sutures. The sutures are either dissolvable or are opened in the following week of surgery.
