Symmetricity after Blepharoplasty

The eyes are the most prominent parts of the face that attract the most attention and are one of the most sensitive parts of the face that the skin around them is very delicate. This feature makes them more vulnerable to the effects of aging and especially long-term exposure to harsh environmental elements such as air pollution, harmful sun rays, physical and shocks.

Nowadays, we see that many people have undergone blepharoplasty to improve drooping eyelids. But one of the problems of eyelid surgery is the unevenness of the eyelids after the surgery. In this article, we discuss this side effect.

Drooping eyelids, mild to severe puffiness of the eyelids, bruising of the eyelids and accumulation of fat cells in the eyelids are among the problems and abnormalities of the eye that occur at any age.

This complication, in addition to the psychological and adverse effect on the beauty of people, will have a great impact on people’s vision.

Eyelid blepharoplasty is a low-risk, low-complication surgery; But there is no action in which the probability of risk and complication is zero.

One of the most important things that surgeons in blepharoplasty should pay attention to is the Symmetricity in Blepharoplasty. This is because the slightest asymmetry caused by blepharoplasty has a great impact on the face and disrupts the beauty of the face.
