Eyelid Lift Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Eyelid lift surgery (blepharoplasty) is a popular cosmetic procedure aimed at addressing sagging skin, excess skin, and puffiness in the upper or lower eyelids. As we age, the skin around the eyes can lose its elasticity, leading to a tired and aged appearance. Blepharoplasty helps restore a more youthful and refreshed look.
During the consultation, the surgeon will assess the condition of the eyelids, taking into account factors such as skin, muscle, and fat. Based on this evaluation, the most appropriate technique will be recommended.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
For upper eyelid surgery, small incisions are made along the natural folds of the eyelids to remove excess skin and reshape the underlying fat if needed.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
For lower eyelid surgery, incisions are made either just below the lash line or inside the eyelid to address puffiness and improve the appearance of under-eye bags.
Anesthesia and Recovery
The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Recovery involves some mild swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside.
As the healing progresses, the results will become more noticeable, and scars will fade over time, blending into the natural creases of the eyelids.
