Structured blepharoplasty or conventional blepharoplasty? Do you know the difference between the two? Evolution!
While blepharoplasty used to be performed only to remove excess eyelid skin and eliminate the fat bags around the eyes, today plastic surgery of the eye area goes much further.
Over time, the technique has been refined in many respects and today involves a more detailed and meticulous approach, capable of meeting the wishes of an increasingly young and demanding public.
In what is known as structured blepharoplasty, the focus is on preserving and restoring the muscular and ligamentous structures of the eyelids, aiming for a more natural and longer-lasting result. The technique includes reconstructing the anatomical components of the eyelids to improve their function and appearance.
In structured blepharoplasty, we combine procedures such as:
Canthopexy: performed to anchor the lateral canthus.
Eyelid ptosis correction: correction of the eye opening.
Eyebrow lift: repositioning of the eyebrows, which can range from correcting drooping brows to creating a new shape for those whose eyebrows are a little straighter.
For women with somewhat more androgynous eyebrows, with a more masculine shape, for example, we can also lift the tail, adding a touch of femininity to the eyes.
And, of course, it is impossible to talk about evolution without mentioning technological progress. Today, with the help of technologies such as the fractional CO² laser, Morpheus (microneedling radiofrequency) and Facetite (radiofrequency-assisted liposuction), it is possible to enhance the results of structured blepharoplasty, reducing wrinkles and minimizing sagging in the eye area.
Recently, we have also incorporated the Thulium laser into our procedures. It is a technology that can be applied from the third or fourth month of the postoperative period onward to refine the skin surface, especially in the delicate eyelid area.
The final result of structured blepharoplasty? A true transformation of the eyes.
