Cosmetic Surgery

Commencing March 2011 the BIMC Hospital announces its inclusion of Blepharoplasty also known as eyelid surgery to its list of Anti-aging procedures.

EFFECTS
Blepharoplasty improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both and gives a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes, making you look more rested and alert. Blepharoplasty treats drooping eyelids, but not drooping eyebrows or wrinkles. Another type of Blepharoplasty known as Asian eyelid surgery is gaining in popularity worldwide. This procedure, performed on Asians with a “single eyelid,” creates a crease where none exists.

PROCEDURE
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper or lower or both and is for the removal of excess skin, along with fat and also muscle.

RISKS
Every surgical procedure involves a certain amount of risk, and it is important that you understand the risks involved. Although the majority of patients do not experience any complications, you should discuss each of them with your plastic surgeon during your consultation to make sure you understand the risks, potential complications, and consequences of blepharoplasty surgery. You will be required to sign a consent form before surgery stating that you have been informed of the risks involved; that you understand those risks; and that you accept those risks. This is standard hospital protocol and surgery will not be performed without a signed consent form.
