If you are looking for a more youthful appearance or just want to get rid of that constant tired look around your eyes, you may be a good candidate for blepharoplasty. This surgery provides cosmetic corrections by removing bags around the eyes and reducing puffiness. It is usually an out-patient procedure with relatively shorter recovery times than other types of surgeries.
What is Blepharoplasty Surgery?
Also known as an "eye lift" or "eyelid surgery", blepharoplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery that involves making small incisions to modify the skin and fat content in the area surrounding the eyes. Blepharoplasty can correct structural issues with the eyelids that may impair vision by removing excess skin on the upper or lower eyelids. For example, some patients suffer from decreased visibility due to drooping upper eyelids.
What Does The Recovery Process Look Like?
Recovery time will vary for each individual; it depends on how your body responds to the surgery. For a safe and quick recovery, be sure to follow all of your post-surgery guidelines prescribed by your doctor.
According to Dr. Harun Zekirovski at HZ Plastic Surgery, “it's normal to experience swelling, bruising, or dry eyes following your procedure, but this will subside shortly.” Most of these inconveniences decrease over time by merely following your post-surgery recommendations; however, scarring can be permanent.
Post-Surgery Scarring
Scarring is a typical result of the healing process, and each patient’s experience will be unique. Where incisions are made during surgery, raised or wide scar tissue may develop due to excess collagen in the skin. Without intervention, this scarring can become permanent. Although the scarring is not harmful, it may not be desirable on locations of the body that are highly visible.
Getting Rid Of Blepharoplasty Scarring
Thankfully, getting rid of blepharoplasty scarring is possible. Here at Rejuvaskin, we’ve designed a delicate scar gel that is colorless, light, easy to apply to the face. This product will not cause acne or skin irritations.
Similar to our silicone sheeting, our gel works by reducing water loss from the skin and reducing excess collagen build-up. Excess collagen is the main culprit for those unsightly raised and ridged scars we wish to avoid on our face and other visible areas of the body.
Using Rejuvasil For Scarring
Used as a primary treatment method after surgery, Rejuvasil effectively and discreetly diminishes the appearance of scarring while relieving the itching and discomfort that comes with the healing process. Key ingredients such as Vitamin C, and Squalane give the gel its smooth texture and improve its performance by soothing the skin and reducing discomfort.
Rejuvasil is also transparent, odor-free, and water-resistant. This transparency makes Rejuvasil extremely suitable for highly visible areas like the face and allows you to put your best face forward in confidence.
