Taking before and after pictures is one of the routines included in the process of cosmetic surgery. It is actually a very important exercise since the patient will be able to see clearly the difference the procedure did for him. This is also one great way of justifying the rates and fees most cosmetic surgeons will be charging.
To the patient, having these before and after pictures is one safeguard that they got the results they wanted. It will also signify if the surgery went wrong, especially if the end product is not acceptable or not satisfying to the patient.
The before and after photos above is an example of the procedure called blepharoplasty or in layman’s term, eye bag removal. From the sample photos, it is clear that the surgeon achieved great results. The tissues under the man’s eyes sagged already and a fat bulge is apparent. This protrusion is called blepharochalasis or eye bags. This appears due to age, swelling, fatigue, obesity or some medical problems.
The “after” picture shows that the eye bags were successfully removed giving the man a better look physically and surely, an improved confidence due to his better appearance.
The procedure of eye bag removal would depend mainly on the particular problem of each patient. Sometimes, the procedure to be done is called blepharoplasty sculpture which involves the combinations of elements to treat the cause of sagging eye bags. To know exactly the actual type of surgery to be done, it is important to make several consultations with the chosen surgeon.
Needless to say, it is vital that a reputable and qualified surgeon is chosen to do the procedure. This will minimize the possibilities of risks or complications. However, these risks will not be totally eradicated. Infections or adverse anesthesia reactions may occur, for instance. Such complications can be reduced tremendously if the patient will follow the surgeon’s instructions to the letter, for both pre and post surgery.
One common complication of blepharoplasty is blurred or double vision a few days after the surgery. There could also be some swelling after operation but this is usually temporary. There might also be a very slight scarring, although the sample above is so good that no scar is apparent. To gain more insight on the subject of eye bag removal, it is best to make a thorough discussion with your surgeon.
