As you age, it is not uncommon to develop a tired, heavy appearance around your eyes. Over the years, skin below the eyebrow begins to sag, while the skin and tissue below the eyes takes on a “deflated” look. I can trim excess eyelid skin, tighten tissue, and restore a more youthful appearance through eyelid surgery. Here are three ways eyelid surgery can improve your appearance:
1. Eliminates Puffy Bags
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty often addresses the puffy appearance of under-eye bags. The goal of this surgery is to restore a youthful look by smoothing the lower eyelid skin and removing under-eye fatty deposits.
2. Helps You Look More Well-Rested
If you feel excess eyelid skin makes you look tired even when you’ve had a good night’s sleep, eyelid surgery can help you look more alert. Hooding above the eye and bags below can combine to create an exhausted or worn-down appearance. The goal of surgery is to help you look more rested without overcorrecting the area and making it obvious that you “had work done.”
3. Helps You Look Younger
A sunken or heavy look to the eyelids can dramatically age the face, even without noticeable wrinkles around the eyes. When approached correctly, eyelid surgery can help you look much younger by improving the signs of aging through the upper eyelids, lower lids or both. In some cases, this procedure may be combined with a brow lift for even more impressive results.
