Eyelid Aesthetics Surgery

What is Eyelid Aesthetics Surgery

Blepharoplasty surgery, commonly known as an eyelid reduction, is an operation to reshape the eyelids. An upper-eyelid reduction can improve your vision and make you look younger. A lower-eyelid reduction can help to reduce wrinkles and puffiness.

With age, the skin loses its elasticity and our muscles slacken and for the eyelids, this results in an accumulation of loose skin which collects as folds in the upper lids and forms deepening creases in the lower lids. At the same time, there is slackening of the muscle beneath the skin allowing the fat, which cushions the eyes in their sockets, to protrude forward to give the appearance of bagginess. In some families, there is an inherited tendency for bags to develop during early adulthood before any skin changes.

Who is suitable for Eyelid Aesthetics?

The ideal candidates for blepharoplasty or ptosis repair are generally:

• 18 years old or older
• In good health, both physically and mentally
• Experiencing puffy, sagging, fatty eyelids
• Tired looking
• Suffering from vision obstruction, due to excess skin that droops over the upper eyelids

Even the most qualified candidates may be prohibited from undergoing eyelid surgery because of medications or eye conditions that may negatively affect treatment and increase a patient’s chance of developing complications. During your initial consultation, VOBE Clinic’s Coordinators and Doctors will discuss with you, in detail, your medical history, as well as your cosmetic goals and objectives for treatment.
