Eyelid Aesthetics
Your eyes play a significant role in how others interpret your personality and mood. Unfortunately, aging and repeated facial expressions can cause your eyes to appear tired and sad. Eyelid surgery is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures to correct this condition and help you achieve a youthful, dynamic appearance.
Benefits of Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery not only addresses your aesthetic concerns but also offers functional benefits by expanding your field of vision. The main benefits of this surgery include:
- Eliminates under-eye bags and dark circles.
- Reduces excess skin and wrinkles.
- Removes puffiness in the eyelids.
- Provides a wider field of view.
Eyelid Surgery Procedure
The surgery may involve the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both. The best approach will be determined based on your personal needs and goals.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
A small incision is made along the lash line or inside the eyelid to remove under-eye bags, sagging skin, and herniated fat tissue. This procedure smooths the under-eye area and provides a youthful appearance.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
A hidden incision is made along the natural crease of your eyelid to remove sagging skin and wrinkles in the upper eyelid. This lifts the skin and tissues, creating a younger, more dynamic appearance.
Combined Procedures
Blepharoplasty can be performed on its own or combined with facelift or brow lift procedures for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Recovery Process of Eyelid Surgery
After the surgery, you should apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising and keep your head elevated while resting. The recovery period typically lasts 2-4 weeks, and the incision marks will completely fade within a few months.
