Drooping eyelids and bags around your eyes can make you look much older, but you do not have to let that happen, as these conditions can now be easily remedied. With the help of Blepharoplasty, people can get a brighter and more alert facial expression that results from the lifting of sagging skin around their eyes.
Depending on the needs of each patient, a lower eyelid lift, upper eyelid correction or both can be done. If you are plagued with excess skin in the eye area and drooping eyelids, your cosmetic surgeon will probably recommend Blepharoplasty for your upper eyes. After making a small incision in the crease of the eye, the surgeon will take out the excess fat cells from underneath so that your eyelid skin can be tightened, removing sagging and lines around the upper part of your eye
The bags under your eyes can also be alleviated by using a similar procedure, called eye bag correction. Most surgeons generally decide to perform this procedure in conjunction with the one for the upper eyelids. The cuts for the lower lids are again made in the wrinkles creases, in order to obscure their visibility as much as possible. Lastly, the surgeon reattaches the skin in the eyelids area, giving your eyes a natural appearance, without any bags or wrinkles.
After a short recovery period following the eye lift surgery, you will notice that your eyes bags and wrinkles have disappeared. However, the Blepharoplastys results differ depending on the physiology of each patient, and also on their expectations. If you are planning to have this kind of surgery, you should keep in mind that will not heal the underlying problem that caused you bags and wrinkles in the first place. Nevertheless, you will be able to enjoy the results of the procedure within a couple of weeks. After that, it all depends on you, as with some patients the good results lasted many years, and even a lifetime. Last but not least, if you would like to have other kinds of procedures to improve the lines and wrinkles on your face, such as chin lifts or brow lifts, you should consider combining them. Therefore, even if the recovery time will be longer, you will reduce the number of time you must enter the operating facility.
