In Ft. Worth, Texas
Eyelid Surgery Is Either Cosmetic Or Medical
Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure that reduces any “puffy eyes” or bagginess from lower eyelids. The surgery aims to improve the appearance of the eyelids and can be performed on either the upper or lower eyelids or both. Although eyelid surgery is more common in older patients, younger patients who have excessive skin around their eyelids often take advantage of this procedure.
Blepharoplasty generally is done for cosmetic reasons, yet the procedure effectively improves older people’s vision when their sagging upper eyelids are disrupting their vision. Eyelid surgery or eye lift is an effective way to remove excess skin around the eyes. However, blepharoplasty will not address any facial wrinkles, crow’s feet, or dark circles underneath eye unless associated with laser resurfacing, filler injections, or forehead lift.
