What is Blepharoplasty Surgery


Over the years, it’s natural for skin to lose its elasticity and start to become loose, which causes the drooping and sagging that many people begin to see as an unappealing part of their body. Whilst this is a natural process, it doesn’t stop many people from developing body confidence issues, which is why it is now becoming more and more common for procedures such as blepharoplasty to be undertaken to rectify the changes that have happened over the years. One particular area that is targeted for cosmetic surgery is the eyes, with things such as bags and drooping eyelids beginning to occur for some people as skin laxity diminishes over time. Blepharoplasty surgery will enable to repair drooping eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat, thus creating a tighter, younger appearance for those areas of the face. 


In addition to the aesthetic benefits that cosmetic eye surgery can offer to patients, there are also a number of functional health benefits too. In cases where there is a considerable amount of excess skin surrounding the eye, the range of peripheral vision can be impaired, reducing the effectiveness of your side vision. Once this obstruction is removed, you will likely experience a greater range of vision that helps you to see things far more clearly. Drooping skin can also be quite heavy, as is evidenced by the way that it sags below the eye – this can cause excess fatigue and stress in the face muscles. This stress can be alleviated by removing the excess skin tissue in a blepharoplasty procedure.

 

Much like with many other cosmetic treatments, there are certain requirements and guidelines that must be followed when it comes to selecting appropriate candidates for blepharoplasty surgery, so the most important part of the procedure will likely be your consultation with your surgeon. During this consultation, our expert team will listen to your concerns regarding your eyelids and excess skin around the eyes, ensuring that surgical codes are followed at all times. Only when our team is satisfied that the surgery is both necessary and safe will your journey progress further, so you can have confidence that our team is always working in your best interest. 


In general, blepharoplasty can be performed on patients of a variety of ages, starting as young as people in their early 20s – these cases tend to be related to bags under the eyes. There are, however, certain cases where age limits are enforced, usually for patients who are enquiring about treatments to reduce skin in excess which is sagging. These patients are suggested to wait until the age of 35 to receive treatment, but you will be able to discuss this on a bespoke case by case basis.
