Most people are concerned with beautifying their body with implants, liposuction, nose jobs and more.
However, many people don't worry about the eyes, unless it involves removing wrinkles.
Unfortunately, some people's vision is suffering due to sagginess and eyelid surgery is their only solution.
What it is Surgically removing extra fat and skin around this region is known as blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery.
This fat can cause the upper or lower eyelid to droop.
The procedure requires the surgeon to operate in order to get rid of this extra fat.
Once all fat and loose muscle tissue is removed, the doctor closes up the area using extremely thin stitches.
What it will do Eyelid surgery is very beneficial for people that have impaired vision due to saggy lids.
It also helps those that have a tired appearance as a result of puffiness or bags.
This procedure can improve your vision and overall look, which helps boost confidence since you will have a more rejuvenated look and feel to the area.
What it won't do Although this operation offers many benefits, there are some things that it doesn't repair.
Eyelid surgery will not get rid of fine lines, crow's feet of dark circles.
Also, if you're of Asian descent and want to change your look by adding a crease to the area, keep in mind that this procedure will not drastically change your appearance.
Risks involved Like any procedure, risks should not be taken lightly.
Some of the possible risk factors include swelling, scarring, blurred vision, infection and swelling.
Many of these issues will get better over time.
Also, some people notice a difference in healing rates and can have one side recover much faster than the other.
Furthermore, people with health issues such as dryness, glaucoma, heart disease or high blood pressure are more susceptible to side effects.
Bottom line, it's a good idea to follow all your doctor's instructions to minimize risk.
Finding a doctor You want a surgeon that has extensive experience handling this operation.
Since the surgery has to be done very delicately, you don't want to take any chances.
As with any plastic surgeon, you want your doctor to have thorough medical knowledge, graduated from an accredited school, and have at least three to five years of experience.
Once you find a surgeon, make sure he or she makes you feel comfortable and takes the time to explain everything.
Also, to help with your search, reach out to family, friends and other doctors and get referrals.
