Hello~

​

💛your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💛

​

Last time, we learned about upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and under-eye fat repositioning.

Today, we would like to explain how the anesthesia and surgery are performed.

​

What are the anesthesia and surgical methods for upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and under-eye fat repositioning?

For eyelid surgeries such as upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and under-eye fat repositioning, medications like midazolam and ketamine are administered intravenously.

This induces a sleep state where you feel no pain for about 5 to 10 minutes, after which local anesthesia is applied.

​

Once local anesthesia is administered, the anesthetic is present in the eyelid area being operated on, so there is no pain during the surgery.

Upper Blepharoplasty

During the surgery, sagging skin is excised, fat is removed if necessary, and a double eyelid of the appropriate size is created.

​

Lower Blepharoplasty

During the surgery, fat is either removed or repositioned, sagging muscles are pulled and secured, and excess skin is excised before suturing.

​

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

Since the incision is made through the conjunctiva, the surgery is performed after placing a protective lens over the eye.

​

After lower blepharoplasty and under-eye fat repositioning, a light compression dressing with gauze is applied

to prevent blood accumulation at the surgical site and to reduce swelling.

​

💛The gauze can be removed 3 to 5 days after the surgery, and the stitches can be removed after 5 to 7 days. 💛

Frequently Asked Questions

How is anesthesia administered during eye plastic surgery?

Local anesthesia is administered after inducing sleep. Midazolam and ketamine are intravenously administered to induce a sleep state where pain is not felt for about 5-10 minutes, after which local anesthesia is applied to the surgical area, so there is no pain during the surgery.

What is the difference between upper blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty?

There is a difference in the surgical area and purpose. Upper blepharoplasty is a surgery that cuts the sagging skin of the upper eyelid and creates a double eyelid, while lower blepharoplasty is a surgery that removes or repositions fat under the eyes and tightens and fixes sagging muscles.

Where is the incision made for lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery?

The incision is made through the conjunctiva inside the eye. Since the surgery is performed through the conjunctiva, a protective lens is worn on the eye during the surgery to safely protect the eyeball.

When are stitches and gauze removed after surgery?

Gauze is removed 3-5 days after surgery, and stitches are removed 5-7 days after surgery. After lower blepharoplasty and lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery, light compression dressing with gauze is applied to prevent blood accumulation and reduce swelling, and it will be removed at the hospital according to the guided period.
