Blepharoplasty, also called an eyelid lift, is one of the most popular plastic surgeries performed on both men and women. It’s an excellent way to give you a more youthful appearance, but that’s not the only advantage. In this blog, we’ll discuss the top things you should know about blepharoplasty.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that can improve both the appearance and function of your eyelids. This procedure can repair drooping or sagging in both the upper and lower eyelids, eliminate excess fat deposits and bags under your eyes, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles, refreshing and renewing the area around your eyes.
Blepharoplasty May Improve Your Vision
If you have upper eyelids that sag and make you look older and more tired than you are, you may also experience diminished vision. As you age, the loss of elasticity in the skin of your lids, combined with weakening muscles on your upper and lower eyelids, can cause excess skin to droop over your eyes and partially obscure your vision. Blepharoplasty removes redundant skin and tightens the muscles of your upper lids to restore your full field of vision.
Blepharoplasty Scars Are Nearly Invisible
Your eyes are often the first thing people notice about you, so many potential blepharoplasty patients are concerned about the scars left after surgery. However, there’s no need to worry. Both upper and lower blepharoplasty incisions are very small and strategically placed to mask scars. These thin incisions are hidden inside the eyelids, within the natural creases of the eyes, or in the lash line. Once you’ve recovered from blepharoplasty, no one will be able to see the scars from the procedure.
Blepharoplasty Can Be Combined With Other Cosmetic Procedures
Blepharoplasty is an excellent way to give your eyes a more youthful appearance while keeping you looking natural. However, you may wish to combine additional cosmetic procedures with your eyelid surgery to maintain balance and symmetry with your other facial features.
