What is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?
Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) is a common surgery that improves the appearance and function of the eyelids. It aims to enhance the upper and lower eyelids. During the procedure, the surgeon removes extra skin and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids and can also adjust or move the underlying fat to create a more youthful look. Upper eyelid surgery focuses on the area between the eyebrows and eyelashes, while lower eyelid surgery targets the area between the lower lid eyelashes and the upper cheek.
How Does Blepharoplasty Operation Work?
Minimal scar: the cut is hidden within the natural eyelid crease. Immediate relief: noticeable improvement soon after the procedure. Unmatched expertise: performed by a highly skilled oculoplastic surgeon.
When you have a blepharoplasty, your surgeon will work on your upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your goals. Here's what happens during the procedure:
Upper eyelid surgery involves making small cuts in the natural crease of the eyelid, which won't be noticeable when your eyes are open. Through these cuts, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat that's causing the sagging and then closes the incisions. This helps to give the eyes a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
Lower eyelid surgery involves making a small cut just below the lower eyelashes to remove excess skin. Sometimes, a hidden cut may also be made inside the lower eyelid to address issues like puffy eyes or eye bags. This helps to move or remove excess fat and leave the eyes looking smoother and more radiant.
