Sagging skin and fat accumulation that come with age give the eyes a tired appearance. Since the eyelids have the thinnest skin layer in the human body, they are more prone to wrinkles and sagging.

Eyelid surgery can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin and muscle. In particular, excess fat and puffiness in the eyelids can also be removed. This procedure can be applied to both the lower and upper eyelids. 

Who can benefit from blepharoplasty?

Both men and women can benefit from blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid aesthetics. Aging affects everyone’s eyes, and sagging skin may impair a person’s vision.

Eyelid surgery is a procedure performed with a small incision. For upper eyelid surgery, a small incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid. After the procedure, the excess skin is removed.

For lower eyelid surgery, a small incision is made just below the lash line. After the incision, the procedure is performed to reduce excess skin wrinkles, puffiness, and the appearance of bags. Another option is a transconjunctival incision, which can be performed on the lower eyelid to minimize visible scarring.

If you have dark circles under your eyes, laser or chemical peeling treatments can be used to reduce their appearance significantly. 

After Eyelid Surgery

After the surgery, cold compresses will be applied to the eyes. One week later, the stitches will be removed, giving you a refreshed and youthful look for your eyes.
