I recently spent a weekend with Dr Angelo Rebelo, a renowned Plastic Surgeon based in Lisbon, Portugal, picking up the finer points of the eyelid surgery without scars (mini-blepharoplasty).
This is suitable for patients who have minimal to moderate skin excess in the eyelids but have significant puffiness due to fat herniation (eye bags).
I recently spent a weekend with Dr Angelo Rebelo, renowned Plastic Surgeon based in Lisbon, Portugal, picking up the finer points of the eyelid surgery without scars (mini-blepharoplasty).
It is performed under local anaesthetic. A small 5mm cut is made in the eyelid skin over the fat pads to remove the fat. Each eyelid takes between 10 to 15 minutes. The cut is closed with a single stitch that is removed at 3 days. The skin is immediately treated with fractional CO2 laser (Smartxide) to encourage skin tightening and the reduction of fine lines.
Bruising and swelling settles between 1 to 2 weeks. Risks of complications are minimal. The usual risks of a formal blepharoplasty including obvious scarring, lid retraction and surgical stigmata are avoided.
I think patients who do not scar well or have a loose eyelid prone to problems with the traditional eyelid reduction surgery, will welcome the mini-blepharoplasty. It is especially suitable as a combined procedure with the one stitch face lift.
