What if the results are not satisfactory?
Many people seek out a surgeon to resolve their eyelid aesthetic and eye health issues, while also achieving the best results. However, is it easy to achieve good results? After blepharoplasty, the most satisfying outcome for everyone is one that improves the aesthetics of the upper or lower eyelid and also maintains a completely natural appearance of the eyelids and eyes. As the saying goes, the gaze is the mirror of the soul, and that is why it can say a lot about a person and express moods, emotions, feelings, etc. Beautiful eyes attract the attention of many and are the hallmark of any person. That is why we explain below what can happen if the results of these procedures are not as expected.
Bad hands give bad results
Unfortunately, all too often, blepharoplasty performed by surgeons who are not experts in the field can cause a much more serious problem than the one intended. Finding a beautiful and inexpensive solution to correct a cosmetic problem can lead to a much bigger setback, potentially affecting eye health, which is initially healthy. Not putting yourself in the hands of the best oculoplastic surgery professionals can mean not achieving the desired results and suffering serious visual consequences such as being unable to close your eyes completely, dry eyes, blurred vision, and other types of consequences. But… what kind of problems can you suffer?
The problems
As we’ve discussed in this article, it’s important to rely on inexperienced surgeons and professionals of questionable quality when it comes to their procedures. Lower blepharoplasty, if not performed by a qualified professional, can cause other types of eye health problems, and lower eyelid retraction is one of them. This type of condition occurs when, after the internal tissues of the eyelid heal, their mobility is reduced, and the tissues pull the eyelid downward.
Why? Well, this could be a consequence of overly aggressive surgery, which causes a lot of scarring, or of removing too much skin from the lower eyelid.
The consequences : a rounding of the eye shape and eye discomfort such as chronic irritation, dry eyes and corneal problems.
On the other hand, there is also upper blepharoplasty, and if this is performed incorrectly, the main cause of unsatisfactory results is overcorrection. This occurs when too much tissue is removed, resulting in a “hollow” eyelid, which gives the patient an older appearance and can sometimes cause difficulty in closing the eye.
The consequences: Failure to correct a drooping eyelid in the same surgical procedure, failure to correct a drooping eyebrow, or asymmetries in ocular aesthetics consistent with the patient’s features and physiognomy.
When a patient suffers these disastrous results from upper or lower blepharoplasty procedures, it forces even good professionals to face greater challenges and seek the best solution to these types of problems for those who seek their help.
That’s why you need to be aware and know who you entrust your aesthetics, and especially your eye health, to. It’s very important that the surgery is well planned and performed by a blepharoplasty expert to avoid any complications, since these mistakes don’t happen in good hands.
