Blepharoplasty - Rejuvenates Puffy, Sagging or Tired-looking Eyes

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a type of facial cosmetic surgery that is performed to correct various eyelid flaws. Blepharoplasty can be performed to correct droopy upper or lower eyelids, reduce puffiness and correct sagging skin around the eyes. These conditions can give you a constant tired look, and even hinder your vision by reducing your visual field. The droopiness is repaired in an one to two hour surgical procedure, that involves the removal of excess muscle and fat, and excess and sagging skin from the lower and upper eyelids.

Blepharoplasty-A Safe Procedure Involving Minimal Pain

The following are some conditions for which a blepharoplasty would work wonders:

• Puffy or baggy upper eyelids.
• Fine wrinkles of the lower eyelids.
• Bags beneath the eyes.
• Sagging lower eyelids which could result in white appearing below the iris.

During your initial consultation with the plastic surgeon of your choice, you and your surgeon will decide on the appropriate procedure for your condition. He will discuss the procedure with you, its risks and benefits and the healing and recovery process. Blepharoplasty can be performed as an outpatient procedure. It is usually performed under local anesthesia, so there are no risks or complications as are in general anesthesia cases. The procedure involves minimal pain or discomfort. Sometimes the procedure is combined with a facelift (more extensive porcedure), or the use of dermal fillers, to elevate the eyebrows, and/or lessen the appearance of crow's feet, dark under-eye circles, and wrinkles.

Look Youthful, Fresh, and Approachable

This type of eyelid surgery makes the surrounding region of the eyes look revitalized. Impaired vision because of the droopiness is also corrected. Thus, you look more alert, more rested, and as youthful and attractive as ever.

Now that you know that blepharoplasty rejuvenates puffy, sagging or tired looking eyes, you can ask your plastic surgeon if this is an appropriate procedure for you.
