While 90 per cent of the visible signs of aging are due to sun exposure, the disappointing changes that occur in our skin are largely dictated by our genes. We only have to look a generation ahead to see what could be in store for us. If drooping eyelids or under-eye bags run in your family, you may notice these aging changes become more prominent. These signs of aging can be delayed or mitigated through sun damage prevention and lifestyle choices, but cannot be avoided indefinitely. Fortunately, there is a straightforward surgical solution that can reverse the effects of time on aging eyes known as an eye lift or blepharoplasty.
What to know about an eye lift.
An eye lift can encompass both the upper and lower eye area as needed. At the time of your surgical consultation, the course of treatment best suited to address your particular aging concerns will be discussed. An eyelift will remove excess skin and fat and to correct drooping eyelids and eye bags for a refreshed and rejuvenated look.
The initial surgical recovery takes place over a period of 7 to 10 days. Generally, normal activities can be resumed two to three weeks after surgery. Eye lift incisions are carefully placed at the eyelid crease and along the lash line to minimize and conceal surgical scars.
Why opt for blepharoplasty?
An eye lift offers precise improvements for the lax skin and the displaced adipose tissue of drooping eyelids and under-eye bags, which as of yet cannot be achieved non-invasively. A surgical consultation will help you decide if an eye lift is the correct course of treatment for you.
