Eyelid Surgery: Here’s What You Should Know

Do you want to improve your vision and make your eyes appear younger? Then an eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is just what you need! You may need fat or skin removed from the upper eyelids with muscle tightening.

A plastic surgeon can guide you about whether or not you’re a good candidate for this surgery, with the help of a thorough physical exam, as well as asking questions about your medical history.

If you meet the following criteria, you may be a good candidate for eyelid surgery:
Excess fatty deposits on eyelids that lead to puffiness
Sagging or drooping of the upper eyelid skin
Fine wrinkles around your eyes or bags under eyes
You have to be in good health and aren’t suffering from a chronic health condition

Here are the benefits of eyelid surgery and why you should have a blepharoplasty:

Rejuvenates Your Eyelids
The initial signs of aging appear on your eyelids. With cosmetic eyelid surgery, you can enhance the appearance of your eyes and achieve the young and fresh look. During this procedure, a surgeon will eliminate or reposition excess fat, tighten tissues and muscles, and replace the lost soft tissue volume to rejuvenate eyelids.

Improves Vision
As eyelids droop, not only do they tamper with your appearance but they also obstruct vision. This problem is quite common among  older people.
However, there’s nothing to worry about. At the same time that the cosmetic appearance of the eyelids is being improved, your peripheral vision is also being improved with the fat and skin removal.  The plastic surgeon can also perform a tightening of the eyelid muscles to lift the upper eyelid so that your direct vision is improved.

Eliminates Eye Bags
Under eye bags or what we call puffy eyes are the tell-tale signs of aging or sleeplessness. However, it’s not a lost cause and you can remove these unattractive baggy areas and dark circles with the help of blepharoplasty.

Removes Eye Wrinkles
As you age, wrinkles or fine lines around the corners of your eyes become more prominent. These aging signs ruin your look like nothing else. If you worry about your appearance and want to gain a young and fresh look, then you should consider scheduling an appointment with a plastic surgeon. With simple eyelid injection and the use of BOTOX without any eyelid cosmetic surgery, you can easily get rid of eye wrinkles and fine lines around your eyes.

After the surgery is performed, you should take good care of your eyes. You may experience mild pain or swelling, but it will go away within a week or two. Blepharoplasty is a lasting procedure. Get in touch with Day Plastic Surgery today to book an appointment for eyelid surgery.
