Blepharoplasty is the answer to droopy eyelids for men and women. It constitutes one of the most popular procedures of contemporary Plastic Surgery, as it leaves the eyes appearing younger and more alert and offers a more youthful looking face. In any case, blepharoplasty will change your, and others, point of view!
On the upper eyelids the incision is made inside the natural fold of each lid, while on the lower eyelids it is located just below the eyelashes. Depending on the problem that needs to be solved, the surgeon will apply the appropriate technique. Blepharoplasty also addresses younger people, but in that case the incision is made on the inside of the eyelids, as the sagging is usually not too intense. The procedure can also be combined with laser treatment for eyelid skin tightening.
Other parts of the face can also benefit from a blepharoplasty surgery, as it can have a lifting effect on the middle third of the face and improve the nasolabial folds, as well as lift the eyebrows, if needed.
After surgery, you return home in a few hours, while the almost invisible scarring will gradually disappear.
The procedure addresses people over 35-40 years old but can also be applied to younger people for solving droopy eyelid problems of hereditary cause.
The results of the surgery can last up to 15 years, always depending on the extent and type of the problem, on skin quality, on levels of facial expression and of course lifestyle choices, as smoking, drinking alcohol and poor sleep surely are compounding factors.
