Reclaiming a Brighter, More Youthful Look: Benefits of Eyelid Surgery
One of the most powerful ways to look younger without obvious indications of cosmetic work is through an eyelid lift —the procedure designed to smooth the contours above and below the eyes. Also called “blepharoplasty,” eyelid surgery can address several characteristics of the eyelids causing premature signs of aging, such as puffiness, wrinkles, dark circles, hooding, and loose skin.
With the versatility to reduce the appearance of aging and fatigue in the eyes, the blepharoplasty procedure can:
- Resculpt the upper eyelids to remove excess skin and loose tissue: Over time, the skin on the upper eyelids becomes loose and heavy, sometimes hanging over the upper lashes and even interfering with vision. Eyelid surgery removes redundant tissue, creating a smoother, more lifted appearance and restoring an open and youthful eye shape.
- Widen line of sight in severe cases: For some, upper eyelid skin can droop low enough to partially block one’s field of vision. Eyelid surgery can improve peripheral vision and overall sight impeded by extra tissue.
- Improve tired-looking eyes: Loose skin and fat deposits beneath the eyes can cause puffiness and a tired look. Lower eyelid surgery can remove excess skin, tighten loose muscles and reposition or remove fat, reducing under-eye bags and making this area smoother, resulting in a more rested appearance.
- Create a brighter, healthier, and more youthful expression: Eyelid surgery addresses some of the most noticeable signs of aging — including wrinkles, puffiness, and hooding. The eyes appear brighter and more alert, helping you look refreshed and rejuvenated without drastically altering your natural features.
- Provide greater self-confidence and self-esteem: A more rested and youthful appearance can be especially impactful for those who feel like their eyes don’t match how energized or lively they feel internally.
