Eyelid Reduction - Blepharoplasty |
|
With ageing, the eyelids can develop excess skin that droops over
the upper eyelids or falls loosely under the lower eyelids. Some
of the fatty tissue behind the eyelids can also bulge out, creating
the appearance of ‘bags’ under the eyes. This can create
the appearance of tiredness or sadness, and can even result in partial
obstruction of vision.
The upper eyelids are usually corrected with the removal of excess
skin and muscle. Lower eyelids need the bulging fat repositioned,
and the skin and muscle tightened below the eye. The scars are well
hidden in natural crease lines and are barely visible when healed.
This surgery can be done under local anaesthetic but is most commonly
performed under general anaesthesia. Swelling has usually settled
within ten days but there may be some bruising for a few weeks after
the operation. Women can apply make-up within two weeks and most
people will have returned to work by this stage.
This operation gives a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance to
the eyes, which can transform the appearance of the whole face.
