Blepharoplasty
(Eyelid Surgery)
The skin around your eyes begins to change with age. It may sag or fold as your skin loses its elasticity due to a natural decrease in collagen production. Many people consider blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to lift and reverse the process of aging.
The Best Candidates for Eyelid Surgery
Drooping or baggy upper eyelids
Undereye bags
Excess skin on the upper or lower eyelids
To ensure that blepharoplasty is the best option for you, seek a professional opinion from an experienced surgeon. During an initial consultation, you will discuss your medical history and have a short examination to determine if you’re a good candidate for eyelid surgery.
The surgeon will help you determine the ideal brow position, eyelid tone, and skin laxity. Patients must also be evaluated for various chronic problems, including high blood pressure, dry eye, glaucoma, and thyroid abnormalities that increase surgical risk.
Types Of Eyelid Surgery
This surgery can be performed for both cosmetic and functional reasons. The procedure can be carried out on either one or both lids, depending on your desired results and needs. Most patients notice it improves sagging skin, lifts drooping lids, and reduces fatty deposits in the hood area, resulting in a more youthful, vibrant appearance.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper eyelid surgery is often used to treat sagging skin. It can also reduce puffy eyes, discomfort, and combat/reverse/counteract the loss of function in the face due to excessive fat deposits around one’s eye area. The surgery can improve your vision and make you feel more youthful.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Lower eyelid surgery is an effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and bags under the eyes. Lower blepharoplasty can also help you prevent further volume loss in the undereye area. It can also address dark undereye circles caused by fatty tissue deposits.
