Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that focuses on correcting drooping eyelids, which can be caused by excess skin or fat that has deposited around the eyes. It is often performed as a cosmetic procedure, but it may also be needed to maintain vision.
The goal is to restore the correct functioning of an eyelid or eyelids that are affected. This goal is accomplished by taking excess skin from around the eyelids, and then tightening the supporting structures. The excess fat around the eye needs to be changed. This will make the eyelids and the surrounding structures seem smooth after the procedure is finished. Both of the upper and lower eyelids and surrounding tissues of the eyebrows and the upper part of the nasal area need to be modified by the coverings. This part is called in medical terminology the periosteal covering of the facial bones. They are the part that form the eye socket.
Men and women whose eyelids begin drooping due to age often seek this cosmetic procedure. These people wish to improve the way they look. This is because droopy eyelids can cause you to look older and impair vision. Blepharoplasty can correct these problems. This type of surgery usually heals quickly and the scars are inconspicuous.
There are certain types of people who are good candidates for blepharoplasty. They should be healthy individuals who do not have any life threatening illnesses or medical conditions. They should be non-smokers. These people should have a positive outlook and goals for the eyelid surgery, and they should be without serious eye conditions.
