Blepharoplasty
Description
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It involves the removal or repositioning of excess tissue, such as skin and fat, and may involve tightening supporting muscles. For the upper eyelids, the goal is often to correct drooping or hooding that can sometimes impair vision. For the lower eyelids, it primarily addresses puffiness, bags, and excess wrinkled skin. Incisions are strategically placed within the natural creases of the eyelids (upper) or just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid, making scars inconspicuous once healed.
The Benefit
Eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the area around the eyes, making you look more rested and alert. Here are some potential benefits:
✓ Corrects Droopy Upper Eyelids: Removes excess skin that can hang over the lashes.
✓ Improves Vision: Can restore peripheral vision obstructed by sagging upper eyelids.
✓ Reduces Under-Eye Bags: Removes or repositions fat deposits causing puffiness.
✓ Smooths Fine Lines: Tightens loose skin on the lower eyelids.
✓ More Youthful Appearance: Creates a refreshed and more alert look.
✓ Well-Concealed Scars: Incisions are hidden in natural eyelid folds or lines.
✓ Long-Lasting Results: The improvements are typically durable.
