What Can Blepharoplasty Be Used to Treat
Over the years, our skin starts to lose its elasticity and begins to sag. On our faces, sagging eyelids end up giving many a baggy, tired-looking appearance. Some simply live with it. Some can fight it off with a touch of makeup. Others may turn to any number of tricks to hide their bags. But for those who don’t want to resort to wearing sunglasses at all times (or donuts over their eyes), we recommend looking into blepharoplasty.
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty (also known as eyelid surgery) is an extremely effective procedure for people who have noticeable amounts of excess skin and/or fatty deposits beneath their eyelids (both upper and lower).
Your plastic surgeon will make incisions on whichever eyelids need addressing and stitch them back up with meticulous care— this will reduce the impact of any scars that form. (In fact, scarring from this procedure is virtually unnoticeable!)
What Does Blepharoplasty Treat?
As you may have gathered already, blepharoplasty is a great solution for those looking to be rid of sagging, aging eyelids. This procedure is generally performed to help patients regain a youthful glow to their face, sending their confidence soaring. In effect, blepharoplasty not only treats sagging lids, but sagging self-confidence as well.
How Long Does it Take to Recover From Blepharoplasty?
Since blepharoplasty is an invasive surgical procedure, you should expect swelling and pain at the incision sites. Generally speaking, patients are able to resume normal, everyday activity after seven to ten days, but everyone responds to the effects of surgery differently, so your surgeon will help you chart the best, individualized path to recovery. The most important thing is to follow your post-op instructions— this will ensure that you have the quickest recovery possible.
