How Blepharoplasty Refreshes and Renews Eyelids
Blepharoplasty, also referred to as eyelid surgery, is a form of plastic surgery that addresses sagging eyelids or excess skin around the eyelids. Both the bottom and upper eyelids can be corrected through blepharoplasty.
The benefits of eyelid surgery
Eyelid surgery has many benefits.
It can enhance your appearance, restoring a refreshed pair of eyelids.
It is also helpful in giving you better vision if your eyelids are actually obscuring your eyes.
You may have other problems with your eyes that can be corrected through blepharoplasty. Before undergoing surgery, you should always set up a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon to discuss your options and the procedure. Once the procedure is completed, you can have a more youthful appearance and see better as well.
Eyelid surgery could be the right choice for you if you have bags under your eyes that will not go away no matter how much rest you get or what products you use on your skin. If you have folds on your upper eyelids from excess skin, blepharoplasty offers you a solution. You can also get rid of fatty deposits that have accumulated in your eyelids, making them look too puffy.
Has your vision been impacted by sagging eyelids?
If your vision has been affected in anyway by your eyelids, you definitely need to address it with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon. Blepharoplasty is recommended for non-smokers in good health with no serious health conditions that could cause complications during surgery.
Things to know about surgery
Eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure. You will be given some form of anesthesia, whether your surgeon recommends general anesthesia or sedation that is administered intravenously. Your board-certified cosmetic surgeon will make small incisions around your eyelids to address whatever issue you may be having, from fatty deposits to the tightening of your skin. The incision will then be closed. You can expect bruising, swelling, and discomfort for the first few days. Blepharoplasty will allow you to return to work within 7 to 10 days. Once healing is complete, you will see a transformation in your eyelids that can truly enhance your appearance and make you look rejuvenated.
