Скачать или смотреть Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Informed Consent Explained | Dr. Colin Hong

This video offers a clear and comprehensive explanation of the Informed Consent for Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, as outlined by Dr. Colin Hong, MD, FRCS(C). It is intended to help patients understand the procedure, the benefits they may expect, and the important risks and limitations associated with eyelid surgery. The discussion covers what blepharoplasty can and cannot achieve, such as removing excess skin, muscle, or fatty tissue from the upper or lower eyelids, improving drooping or bagginess, or enhancing the field of vision in cases of severe upper-eyelid hooding. It also clarifies that the surgery cannot remove crow’s feet, eliminate dark circles, or lift the brows, and that it will not erase ethnic eyelid characteristics.

The video explains alternative options, including brow lifts, ptosis repair, skin resurfacing procedures, or other corrective treatments depending on the patient’s concerns. It also goes over the specific risks associated with blepharoplasty, including rare but serious complications such as bleeding behind the eye that can affect vision, as well as dry eye symptoms, corneal exposure problems, lower-lid malposition, or temporary or permanent eyelash hair loss. General surgical considerations such as bleeding, infection, delayed healing, scarring, changes in sensation, anesthesia risks, swelling, and long-term healing patterns are also discussed in detail.

Patients will also learn about important pre- and post-surgery responsibilities such as avoiding nicotine, being cautious with medications that increase bleeding, protecting the eyes from sun exposure, and managing physical activity to support safe healing. The video also explains long-term factors that may influence results, financial responsibilities, and the overall consent process, including photography, anesthesia, and the possibility of additional corrective procedures if needed.
