What is Blepharoplasty?
Upper or lower blepharoplasty is surgical correction (lifting) of the eye auxiliary system – eyelid, by removing undesirable skin or fat fibers, using local or general anesthesia.
What we have as a result of blepharoplasty is:
- Reduction of excess skin in eyelid area, which obstructed or limited vision
- Removed piece of skin, with lost elasticity, which created multiple folds, distorting the natural contour of upper eyelid
- Vision improvement
- Removal of excess fatty deposits – hernias, that appear under the skin of upper eyelid, making eyelids look puffy or tired
- Bags under the eye, and “tired gaze” effect correction
How is blepharoplasty performed?
During upper or lower eyelid blepharoplasty incisions in respective eyelids are done in the direction of natural folds. For the upper eyelid incisions are made directly on the crease of the lid, while for lower eyelid it is made just under the eyelashes or behind the eyelid (transconjunctival). In this way incisions will become invisible, once they heal.
An oculoplastic surgeon is the specialist, who should consult you and perform lower or upper blepharoplasty.
After the blepharoplasty it is recommended:
- regularly measure body temperature. In case of fever 37 C or higher, one should inform doctor
- keep wound clean
- keep bandages for 7 days (inform your doctor if bandages are damaged)
- keep bandages dry
- drink plenty of liquids 2-3 liters a day
- always keep head up, never tilt it down
- avoid computer or TV watching for 2-3 days
- avoid using contact lenses for 3 weeks
- exclude physical activity, or lifting weight more than 5kg for at list 2 months
- use post-operative anti-scar creams, if necessary
- were sunglasses, when outside

What is the periungual granulation surgical treatment of chronic ingrown toenails?

Nail plasty reduces such nails, by removing pathologically altered tissues, combining this with removal of the ingrown part of the nail, including that part of the nail matrix.The latter prevents re-ingrowth of the nail and subsequent chronic mechanical damage, overgrowth, or pathological changes of the lateral and anterior nail bumps. The surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia.

- Prevent ingrowth of nails
- Beautify and refine the aesthetic appearance of the fingers
- Eliminate nail and soft tissue deformities of various origins
How is periungual granulation plasty performed?
During the surgery incisions are made in the nail area to remove the excess part of the nail and chronically ingrown part, along with its matrix. After surgery the nail can grow more freely, at same time having more aesthetic appearance while causing no damage to surrounding tissues.

Plastic surgeon, general practice surgeon, orthopedic traumatologist, podiatric surgeon are the specialists who may consult and perform this operation.
