Title Inquiry
Name Matilda Sign Date 2013-07-06

I am thinking about Combined Lower Blepharoplasty due to dark circles, below eye fatty deposit and shallow wrinkles.

I am curious whether it will be effective on horizontal layers of shallow wrinkles.

I am worried more wrinkles may form being through the surgery involving repeated

swelling and shrinking of below eye areas, which is already weak and inelastic.

How long do incision scars below eyes last?

Any possibility of these scars remaining permanently depending on skin types?

Lastly, should I get the surgery done sooner or later when I am aged little more?


How are you?
I thank you for visiting the website of Dream Plastic Surgery.
As you have mentioned, Combined Lower Blepharoplasty will give great results if you want to treat da가 circles and wrinkles below eyes and at the same time to create Charm muscles below eyes.
Combined Lower Blepharoplasty reverses below eye structures to their youngest possible form to project lively and healthy impression. By partial incision of below eye fat exposed and delicately designs and enhances the membrane encapsulating fat in saggy areas by adhering them to the periosteum of facial bones, this surgery minimizes skin incision and reforms below eye grooves to give natural looking results.

The surgery will take around 1 hour and carries no pain. Surgical stitches will be removed 4-5days afterward and the swelling will subside in a week. In 2-3 weeks, you will enjoy youthful and lively eyes.
This surgery definitely has the wrinkle improvement effect but patients with deep below eye wrinkles or muscular wrinkles, even combined lower blepharoplasty may not cure all these wrinkles as much as patients would like them to. (Even with supporting below eye muscles underneath, if too much skin is incised, it may look awkward as skins below eyes are pulled). If we can start with your understanding of this, I am sure you will be happy along with other improvements accompanied.

For younger patients, recovery period after Combined Lower Blepharoplasty does not take too long... Of course, bruises and swellings will subside about 2weeks after the surgery and reddish tinge will vanish in 2-3months but nobody will notice with a little bit of make-up even after 1 week. The surgery covers vast areas underneath eyes, you must take complete rest for at least 2 days after the surgery.
After that, even with stitches, normal daily life is possible(stitches look similar to inner eyelids and do not look strange) and in 3-4 days, stitches are removed. Just like any other stitches, it is best to avoid water while stitches are in but you can resume facial wash with water one day after the removal of stitches. You still want to be cautious until the 3rd week after the surgery, from when you can engage in activities such as scrubbing facial washing, sauna, swimming etc.

There is no specific time defined for the surgery. You can take the surgery when you feel your lower eyelids are sagging and begin to look significantly different to other people...
People in their teens or 20\'s with weakness below eyes can have similar aging symptoms as those in their 30-40\'s and they can be manifested in forms of sagging charm muscles, dark circles below eyes, fatty swellings and increasing grooves. When you begin to be increasingly concerned about changes happening below your eyes, is the right time to have the surgery and this usually coincides with when the physical age of your below eye area reaches 40 year old. In other words, when you cover your upper eyelids and just looking at lower eyelids, if you think they look close to people in their 40\'s, it would be the time you need to have the surgery done. This can also happen to young people in their teens and 20\'s as mentioned before, the time necessary for the surgery depends heavily on the condition(physical age of below eye areas) of your below eye areas. It would be best to discuss further after a detailed consultation and examination in person.
