Goals of Functional Blepharoplasty:
Plastic Surgery is evolving all the time. It allows us to take all aesthetic variables into consideration. An accurate treatment plan can then be formulated based on non-surgical and surgical procedures to best suit your needs. Different procedures are now often combined to produce multiple subtle changes and thereby producing a more natural result.
It is therefore important that both you and your surgeon understand your needs and expectations.Please contact us if you need any additional information.
Improved Vision:
By correcting eyelid drooping or turning, functional blepharoplasty can improve overall vision, including peripheral vision.
Reduced Eye Irritation:
Addressing conditions like ectropion and entropion can minimize irritation and discomfort.
Pain Relief:
By reducing the strain on forehead muscles, functional blepharoplasty can alleviate forehead pain and fatigue.
Medical aids do sometimes cover the cost of a functional blepharoplasty but one needs to have a field of vision test and Dr Van der Walt will need to send a motivation to your medical aid after an initial consultation.
The surgery is usually performed in our specialised procedure room under local anaesthetic often with an anaesthetist and conscious sedation.
