What is blepharoplasty without surgery?
Non-surgical blepharoplasty is performed with injectable fillers to refresh and rejuvenate the eye contour area. This procedure removes fine lines, wrinkles, depressions, dark circles and bags under the eyes to create a youthful appearance. Unlike traditional blepharoplasty, non-surgical blepharoplasty requires no surgery, incisions or stitches. Dr. Guevara specializes in traditional blepharoplasty and non-surgical blepharoplasty. Dr. Guevara’s goal is to offer patients the safest and most effective treatment with injectable fillers. Dr. Guevara uses hyaluronic acid fillers for non-surgical blepharoplasty.
Candidates for Blepharoplasty without surgery
Candidates for non-surgical blepharoplasty should be healthy and have realistic expectations. Dr. Guevara will meet with each patient individually to determine if he or she is suitable for a non-surgical eyelid lift. During the consultation, a thorough examination of the area surrounding the eyes will be performed. Candidates will discuss with Dr. Guevara their concerns and goals for the procedure. Dr. Guevara will then develop a detailed treatment plan for the patient. Dr. Guevara intends to be an assistant to the patient throughout the treatment process.
Blepharoplasty without surgery
The treatment of blepharoplasty without surgery depends on the patient’s problem and Dr. Guevara’s experience. Dr. Guevara uses the latest technology to perform a non-surgical blepharoplasty. To prepare the patient for the eye treatment procedure, a local anesthetic will be administered. Next, Dr. Guevara will gently place injections around the problem areas. Results are immediate and improve over time.
Recovery time after Blepharoplasty without surgery
After a non-surgical eyelid lift, patients may experience minimal discomfort, redness and swelling. Symptoms disappear within the first few days after treatment. After the procedure, activity should be avoided for at least 24 hours. Dr. Guevara recommends that patients avoid heat and sun exposure after treatment. Patients should also avoid chemical peels, skin resurfacing and laser procedures for the first two weeks after treatment. Dr. Guevara will schedule a postoperative appointment to monitor the patient’s recovery process.
What can non-surgical blepharoplasty include besides injectable fillers?
Often other non-surgical procedures can be combined with injectable fillers to create a customized non-surgical blepharoplasty. If there are certain wrinkles in the lower eyelid that cannot be treated with fillers alone, skin resurfacing such as microneedling, fractional CO2 laser or chemical peels can be performed at the same time. These treatments help smooth fine lines and stimulate collagen production to thicken the eyelid skin. Dr. Guevara will help you evaluate and determine if you are a candidate. Often, Dr. Guevara also recommends improving the “crow’s feet” area. And if there is slight hyperpigmentation of the lower eyelid skin, a medical grade nighttime brightening cream can be used to lighten the skin tone.
Precautions for blepharoplasty without surgery
Although invasive surgery carries greater risks than a non-surgical brow lift, there is still a risk of the following side effects:
- Bleeding, tenderness or numbness.
- nerve damage
- itching
- swelling
- redness
- rash
- bruises
- infection
- Difficulty breathing or eating
- drooping eyebrows or eyelids
- healing
- hyperpigmentation (after laser treatment).
Non-surgical blepharoplasty is for those who have already tried over-the-counter anti-wrinkle treatments and have not achieved the desired results.
Some candidates combine surgery with these procedures for maximum results. It is important to discuss all options with your doctor, as well as the possible risks.
These procedures are not intended for children under 18 years of age. Pregnant or nursing women should also avoid these treatments. You may need to limit your physical activity for a few days after treatment for the results to take full effect.
Your doctor may not recommend skin care treatments if you are taking certain medications, such as blood thinners. It is important to inform your doctor of any herbs, medications or supplements you are taking, as they may interact with the treatment.
Another factor to consider is your physician. It is important that you only purchase and discuss a non-surgical blepharoplasty with a surgeon you trust. Undergoing treatment at a non-medical facility can increase the risk of potentially life-threatening side effects.
always verify that your surgeon is endorsed by the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery. You can see my profile as an endorsed plastic surgeon in this link: https://cirugiaplastica.org.co/author/ladron-de-guevara-cervera-johnatan-roy
