Possible Benefits of Blepharoplasty

The skin on around the eyelids is very delicate, and can become saggy with age.  This can lead to impaired vision or a worn out appearance.  This is why some people choose to have blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery.  Although the results of any cosmetic surgery procedure cannot be guaranteed, blepharoplasty does have some potential benefits.

After having blepharoplasty, many people notice that their vision is greatly improved.  Saggy eyelids, caused by ageing, can obscure eyesight, particularly peripheral vision.  During eyelid surgery, the doctor will remove the excess skin around the eye using small incisions in the eye’s creases.  This can lead to a smoother eyelid, and often an improvement in vision.

Having loose, sagging skin around the eyelids can make a person look tired and old.  Because the skin around the eyes is so delicate, this often shows the signs of ageing before other parts of the face.  Blepharoplasty can help achieve a more youthful, awake appearance.  Some people choose to combine eyelid surgery with a brow lift or anti wrinkle injections to add to the effect.

Blepharoplasty can also benefit the look of the lower eye.  The removal of excess tissue can have a tightening effect on that area.  This can result in a fresher, healthier look around the eye area.

Not everyone is suitable for eyelid surgery.  It should be avoided if you suffer from any eye related conditions, such as dry eyes or glaucoma.  But if you’re suitable for blepharoplasty, then you could experience its benefits, with results that could last for years.
