Fighting against signs of aging can seem nearly impossible. Overnight creams, facemasks, and other at-home methods can only do so much. If you’ve been troubled by drooping skin around the eyes, under eye bags, puffy eyelids, and other eye-related signs of aging, it may be time for an eyelid lift.
Eyelid lifts do not just have cosmetic and aesthetic benefits but are also utilized for functional restoration of the eyes. When excessive drooping eyelids cover the vision partly or wholly, blepharoplasty can restore eyesight.
Eyelid lifts are performed to help with skin laxity and drooping of either the upper or lower eyelids or both. Changes to the eyelids can occur as a normal consequence of aging or due to injury.
This delicate surgery involves a small incision expertly placed within the folds of the eyelids to attend to the skin, fat, and muscle underneath. Depending on your specific needs, the muscles may be tightened, fat may be removed or repositioned, and excess skin may be addressed.
A question that many have when it comes to cosmetic surgery procedures is the duration of results. After all, many procedures are performed to combat aging. With a primary goal of eyelid lifts to rejuvenate the face, they hope to do the same.
Eyelid lifts can last nearly a lifetime with permanent results. For others, age-related drooping may occur again after significant time has passed, but the degree of drooping may not reach the same extent as before your blepharoplasty.
Eyelid lifts are delicate surgeries involving tiny vasculature and muscles. Working with an experienced and capable plastic surgeon can help you achieve the age-defying or vision-restoring results you seek.
