Blepharoplasty

An eyelid lift also known as blepharoplasty is a medical procedure to eliminate skin as well as add or remove fat from the eyelids. Although we use the term eyelid lift the eyelid is not raised during surgery.

Upper eyelid works by using incisions on the skin to enable elimination of skin and fat. A thin stitch is then employed to bring the skin together to enable an eyelid crease.

Eye bag removal can require skin incisions underneath the eyelash line or perhaps an incision within the eyelid known as a transconjunctival technique.

This technique enables accessibility of eyelid fat with no noticeable incisions which make this technique ideal for patients who want fat taken out. This process may be coupled with laser resurfacing of your eyelid skin to minimize wrinkles and lines.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

When you get older, the skin surrounding your eyes loses its elasticity, and the muscular areas end up loose. The skin can turn into loose folds on your upper eyelids and creases under your lower lids can form. Since the muscles become looser, the fat deposits surrounding your eye can also stick out making your lower eyelids seem saggy. Eye bag removal can eliminate the excessive skin together with excess fat from around your eyes. This will give you a younger appearance. Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is also performed for those who have droopy overhanging eyelids which impair vision and cause recurrent blinking together with eye weariness.

Lower eyelid surgery can also be performed on people who have puffy lower eyelids and bags that may look unsightly and affect self-confidence.
