Surgical Correction of the Eyes For the Middle-aged
Aging leads to droopy eyes secondary to decreased elasticity of the skin, or fat accumulation that stretches the skin below the eye. There are several surgical options for the middle-aged clients desiring to improve their eye appearance. Most popular procedures include upper blepharoplasty and browpexy, which corrects sagging eyelids, and also component lower blepharoplasty (LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY) in which bulging flesh is removed and corrected below the eye.
What is Upper Blepharoplasty?
This is a procedure performed for cases with sagging eyelids secondary
to decreased elasticity of the skin, as aging progresses.
A clear sight is secured, and the effect of having a younger and more lively appearance is attained after surgery.
Cases requiring Upper Blepharoplasty
Cases in which the double eyelids become smaller
as the eyelids sag
Cases with lots of wrinkles due to decreased eyelid skin elasticity
Cases with eyelid skin that covers the eye or sight and shows sagging even in the lateral-canthal line
Cases with a feeling of stuffiness due to a short distance between the brow and the subbrow
Advantages of Upper Blepharoplasty
Both aesthetic and functional aspects of the eyes are corrected.
Expressive wrinkles are prevented, and patient’s impression becomes gentler and softer.
Eye expression becomes youthful and natural looking.
The patient’s eyes could appear less fierce-looking and more good-natured.
