Unveiling Eyelid Surgery
Tweet
Charlie,
A friend of mine told me she was going to undergo eyelid surgery because she feels her eyes look tired all the time. I feel the same way about my eyes, but I don’t know anything about the surgery. What can eyelid surgery do to “wake up” my eyes? How does it work?
Thanks,
Aurora
Aurora,
What a beautiful name! Eyelid surgery is one of the best options for a permanent facial rejuvenation! It works by removing extra skin and fat around the eyes that can weigh them down and make you look tired. How exactly the procedure is performed depends on if you want to fix your lower or upper lids.
For lower lids:
The best candidates for lower-lid blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) are those who suffer from heavy bags or dark circles under the eyes. Bags are caused by too much fat below the eye, and dark circles can be caused by too little fat beneath the eye. Usually, your surgeon will make an incision either on the inside of the lid or the outside to add or remove fat.
For upper lids:
The best candidates for upper-eyelid surgery are those who have drooping skin above their eyes. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the sagging skin and any fat that may have built up on your eyelids. Sometimes sagging skin above the eyes can be caused by a drooping brow, not excess skin, so it’s important to speak with a knowledgeable facial plastic surgeon in Los Angeles to determine if it’s your brows or eyes that need treating.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Charlie
