COSMETIC EYELID SURGERY (BLEPHAROPLASTY)
Our eyes are our most intriguing and revealing feature-they draw
attention and convey expression. Through them we not only see others but
others see us as well. Our interest or how we feel emotionally and
physically is reflected in our eyes. Unfortunately hereditary factors
and the signs of ageing can greatly impact the appearance of our eyes,
so that what they reflect is not really how we feel.
If you are bothered by upper eyelids with excess, drooping skin that
makes you appear sad or angry, or by eyes that loom tired due to
puffiness or bags, cosmetic eyelid surgery may be right for you. In
general eyelid surgery corrects the excess skin, tissue and fat that
contribute to puffiness and bags in both the upper and lower eyelids,
revealing a more youthful and energetic appearance.
The procedure
-
Eyelid
surgery corrects conditions of the upper eyelid where the hooding is not
associated with low placing of the eyebrows. An incision within the
natural crease of the upper eyelid allows repositioning of fat deposits,
tightening of muscles and tissues, and/or removal of excess skin to
create a firmer upper eyelid contour
-
Conditions of the lower eyelid may be corrected using a transconjunctival incision, one hidden inside the lower eyelid. Through
this incision, fat is redistributed or some fat may be removed, and
sagging muscles are tightened. An incision just below the lower lash
line is an alternate technique allowing excess skin in the lower lid to
be removed with improvement of lower eyelid
-
The incision lines from eyelid surgery are well concealed within the
natural structures of the eyelid region. Results appear gradually as
swelling and bruising subside to reveal a smooth, better-defined eyelid
and surrounding region, and an alert and rejuvenated appearance.
Results
Your final results will appear over time, generally within several
weeks. It may take up to a year for incision lines to fully refine.
While eyelid surgery can be expected to correct certain conditions
permanently, you will continue to age naturally. Lifelong sun protection
including the use of sunscreen and sunglasses will help maintain your great
results.
The benefits of your surgery should reveal a smooth, firm contour of the
upper and or lower eyelids. What matters more is the appearance of your
eyes matches the way you feel inside-youthful, vital and alert.
