Blepharoplasty involves surgical
rejuvenation of the eyelids and is often the first
procedure considered by most patients. The nature
of the surgery is limited in its extent and is easy
to recover from. This and the fact that aging leads
to early changes in the lid skin make this a further
reason many women and men choose this procedure. In
Asian eyes this procedure can lead to definition of
an upper eyelid crease where there was none before.
Assessment in the rooms is crucial to surgical success.
Your history particularly in regard to dry eyes, glaucoma,
corneal surgery, hypersensitivity and thyroid disease
is important. There are many causes to droopy lids
or baggy eyes, often this is due to aging changes
of the face with skin laxity and protrusion of fat
around the eye into this skin, also the muscle layer
is also thickened and can be excised with the skin
and fat.
