Blepharoplasty

Board-certified Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya, has established specific eligibility criteria for Blepharoplasty at Celebre Aesthetics, Surat. Despite being minimally invasive, the surgery is selectively offered to individuals meeting the following criteria:

1. The candidate desires to enhance the attractiveness of their eyes by addressing sagging eyelids.
2. The candidate is in overall good health.
3. Realistic expectations from the surgery are a crucial factor.

It’s noteworthy that this surgery is gender-neutral, making it equally suitable for both male and female candidates.

Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya conducts comprehensive one-on-one consultations, which involve in-depth discussions with patients to ensure clarity and understanding. During these consultations, Dr. Sakhiya:

1. Assesses Patient Expectations and Goals: He listens attentively to patients’ expectations, desires, and goals, allowing him to comprehend the specific outcomes they wish to achieve.
2. Reviews Medical History: Dr. Sakhiya carefully reviews the patient’s medical history to identify any potential factors that may impact the procedure or recovery.
3. Explains Procedure and Risks: He provides a detailed explanation of the blepharoplasty procedure, including potential risks and complications, ensuring that patients are well-informed.
4. Addresses Eyelid Issues: Patients are encouraged to discuss the problems they face due to sagging eyelids, helping Dr. Sakhiya tailor the surgical approach to their unique needs.
5. Vision Test: Depending on the patient’s case, a recent vision test may be requested to determine whether Functional Blepharoplasty or Cosmetic Blepharoplasty is the most appropriate choice.
6. Photographic Documentation: Photographs of the eyes and eyelids are taken from multiple angles, serving as a valuable part of the patient’s medical record.
7. Allergy and Medical History: Allergies and relevant medical history are documented to ensure the patient’s safety during the procedure.

At Celebre Aesthetics in Surat, the consultation process concludes only when both the patient and Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya are in complete agreement, and all questions and concerns have been addressed to the patient’s satisfaction. This commitment to clear communication and mutual understanding is central to ensuring the best possible surgical experience and outcome.

Since Blepharoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure, there are not many preparations necessary from the patient’s perspective. Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya may request routine blood and urine tests to establish basic parameters for the surgery, but aside from that, no special preparations are required on the part of the patient.

The recovery process following Blepharoplasty is relatively straightforward. It’s normal to experience some common post-operative symptoms, including bruising, redness, and swollen eyelids. Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya may provide a prescription for a topical antibiotic ointment to help reduce swelling and redness. Additionally, painkiller medication may be recommended to manage any discomfort.

Patients are instructed to apply cold packs to their eyes regularly for the initial 48 hours following surgery (approximately 10-15 minutes every hour while awake). Afterward, the frequency of cold pack application may gradually decrease. In some cases, Dr. Sakhiya may advise switching to warm compresses 48-72 hours after the procedure. It is crucial to diligently follow all provided instructions for the best results.

For those who wear glasses, they can typically resume wearing them at their convenience after the surgery. However, contact lenses should not be worn until the swelling has completely subsided. The timing for resuming contact lens use varies from patient to patient and should be discussed with Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya.

The surgical sutures used are dissolvable and will naturally dissolve within 4-7 days post-surgery, eliminating the need for suture removal.

Mild discomfort and pain around the eyes for approximately one week after Blepharoplasty is considered normal. Patients are typically advised to rest for the first three days, after which they can gradually resume their daily routines. However, it’s important to avoid engaging in physically strenuous activities during this time. Heavy exercises and strenuous physical activities can typically be resumed after 2-3 weeks of recovery.

While Blepharoplasty is considered a relatively straightforward cosmetic surgery, like any medical procedure, it carries certain risks that patients should be aware of before making the decision to undergo surgery. Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya, a Board-certified Plastic, Cosmetic, and Hair Transplant Surgeon at Celebre Aesthetics in Surat, has compiled an extensive list of potential risks associated with Blepharoplasty to ensure patients are well-informed:

Rare risks that may arise from the surgery include:

1. Temporary inability to fully close your eyelids.
2. Dry eyes.
3. Eyelid infection.
4. Noticeable surgical scarring.
5. Malpositioned eyelids.
6. Undercorrection (insufficient removal of excess skin).
7. Overcorrection (excessive skin removal).
8. Numbness of the eyelids.

Celebre Aesthetics prioritizes patient safety above all else and takes every precaution to minimize the occurrence of these risks. As a result, these risks are rare among our patients.
