What Should Be Done Before the Eyelid Cosmetic Surgery?
Your priority should be finding a cosmetic surgeon who is experienced and certified by the health authorities. As blepharoplasty is the fourth most popular operation in Iran, you can trust in our highly skillful surgeons in this field.
You should know that the blepharoplasty operation does not change the shape of your eyes. It makes your eyes look more open and tightens the loose skin around your eyes. As a result, you will achieve a more renewed appearance.
Furthermore, it should not be forgotten that you should stop taking aspirin before the operation in order to decrease excessive bleeding during the operation.
How Is the Eyelid Cosmetic Surgery Made?
Generally made under local anesthesia, blepharoplasty is a quite complex operation. In case that general anesthesia becomes necessary, an injection will be given to you through vascular access.
Depending on your situation, the operation can be made on the upper lids, lower lids or both of them. Your surgeon makes accurate marks on your skin to find out how much of your skin should be removed from where. During the operation, little and sensitive cuts are made on upper or lower eyelids, so the marks will not be seen after the operation.
Moreover, it should be also forgotten that your surgeon can advise you to go through eyebrow or facelift operations to achieve the best result.

At least for one week after the operation, do not put on make up or use contact lenses. It will help you decrease the risk of infection and swelling. The cuts recover in two weeks
