It is common for individuals to deal with droopy skin on their upper and lower eyelids as they start to get older. This can cause a person to look and feel tired, worn out, and just plain old. Thankfully, there are options available that can address issues with the upper and lower eyelids. We would like to tell you how eyelid surgery can benefit you.
Eyelid surgery can be performed to address both the upper and lower eyelids. Or just one part of the eyelids can be addressed. When you visit us for your initial consultation, we will examine your eyelids and then recommend a course of action that will fit your specific needs.
The great thing about modern eyelid surgery techniques is that most individuals do not need to worry about visible scars. These scars are usually small and light. They can be hidden in the natural creases of the eyelids or along the lash line.
In order to qualify for the surgery, an individual needs to have an issue that the surgery will correct. If you are dealing with excess skin on the upper or lower eyelids, excess fat on the upper or lower eyelids, or a droopy brow, all of these things can be addressed with this surgery. Additionally, tear troughs, dark undereye circles, and undereye bags can also be improved with this surgery.
This surgery is often used to help individuals who have droopy skin on their upper eyelids that blocks their vision. It is not uncommon for individuals in this situation to constantly feel like they have to keep their eyebrows lifted in order to see well. When the muscles in the upper eyelids are tightened and that excess skin is removed, an individual will be able to have relief from these problems.
The primary reason why eyelid surgery is performed is to address cosmetic issues. Having a lot of hanging skin on the upper and lower eyelids can really detract from a person’s appearance. It can make a person look like they are tired and sad all of the time. If this describes your situation, you know how this takes it on your energy level and your self-confidence.
You may have even had experiences where you missed out on good opportunities because of the negative effect that loose eyelid skin is having on your appearance. For example, when a person looks tired and stressed out because of this loose skin, they may not be able to advance in their career as they would like. Their appearance gives the impression that they are too tired to take on more responsibility. Having eyelid surgery performed is a great way to refresh your appearance and have what you feel on the inside match with how you look on the outside.
