Plastic surgery: flap surgery, blepharoplasty & earlobe correction

Plastic surgery includes a variety of procedures to restore, improve or correct skin and tissue structures. These include flap plastic surgery, blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) and earlobe correction, which can be performed for both aesthetic and functional reasons.

Flap plasty – tissue displacement for reconstruction

Flap plasty is a surgical technique for reconstructing skin and tissue defects. They are often used after tumor removal, injuries or severe burns. Healthy tissue with its own blood supply is transferred from one part of the body to the affected region.

Types of flaps:

• Local plastics: Skin flaps from neighboring regions are moved to cover a defect.
• Pedicled flap plasty: Tissue remains partially connected to its original blood supply.
• Free flap plastics: Skin, fat or muscle tissue is microsurgically transplanted from one part of the body to another.

This technique enables a natural reconstruction, improves function and minimizes visible scars.

Blepharoplasty – eyelid lift for an awake look

Blepharoplasty is a surgical correction of the upper or lower eyelids. It is performed to correct sagging skin, bags under the eyes or drooping eyelids that make the face look tired or older.

Blepharoplasty procedure:

1. Consultation & analysis of the eyelid region
2. Local anesthesia or twilight sleep
3. Incision in the eyelid crease (upper eyelid) or on the lash line (lower eyelid)
4. Removal of excess skin & fatty tissue
5. Fine suture for minimal scarring

The healing time is around 7-14 days, after which the look is more open, fresh and rejuvenated.

Earlobe correction – restoration & beautification

Earlobes can change their shape due to stretching, cracks or age-related sagging. Surgical correction restores the natural appearance and symmetry.

Possible interventions:

• Closure of torn ear holes (e.g. due to heavy jewelry)
• Reduction of excessively large or extended earlobes
• Symmetry adjustment for uneven earlobes

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, takes about 30-60 minutes and enables rapid healing within a few weeks.

Conclusion

Plastic surgery offers targeted solutions for aesthetic and reconstructive concerns with flap surgery, blepharoplasty and earlobe correction. Whether for recovery from injuries, rejuvenation of the eye area or correction of earlobes, these procedures help to improve personal well-being and appearance
