Several factors, including aging, sun damage, smoking and obesity, can cause the eyelids to droop and sag as the supporting tissues deteriorate. Eyelids that droop or bulge can cause people to appear much older or fatigued than they actually are.
(Blepharoplasty), also known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids by tightening muscles and tissue or removing excess fat and skin. This procedure can be performed on men and women alike, and offers a younger, more refreshed look that reflects across the whole face.
There are a number of procedures that can be combined to improve the appearance of the eyes. Extra skin and fat in the eyelids can be removed or reshaped, the youthful tone and shape of the lower eyelid can be rejuvenated, the hollow cheek area (tear trough) under the eyes can be filled, and the position and shape of the eyebrows can be corrected.
This procedure also addresses the hooding caused by drooping upper eyelid skin, which can be so significant that it impairs vision. This procedure is covered by many insurance plans is your visual field is obstructed. The result is a very natural, youthful and refreshed appearance that brightens the entire eye area.
