How Blepharoplasty Can Help You Fight The Signs Of Aging?

With aging, soft tissues around the eyes begin to sag. This results in old and tired look. Blepharoplasty is the optimal solution to reverse these aging signs. It takes at least 10 years off the face.

The eyelid procedure is typically performed to correct aging flaws. The 3 main aging signs that blepharoplasty tackles are-

Fine wrinkles- With age, skin becomes thinner and drier. Skin loses its elasticity because of which wrinkles begin to appear.

Bags under the eyes- Tissue and muscles supporting eyelids get weaken with age. As a result, fat gets accumulate under the eyes. This causes eyelids to look puffy.

Puffiness on upper eyelids
- Enlargement of either the lower or the upper eyelids. The fluid or inflammation gets build up in the tissues, causing swelling in the eyelids.

During the procedure, patients are given either the general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. The procedure takes two to three hours, depending on the extent of surgery.

Incisions are made following the natural lines of eyelids, in the creases of upper eyelids, and below the lower eyelid lashes. Depending on the correction needed, incisions may extend to the crow's feet or laugh lines at the outer corners of your eyes.

After incisions, surgeon separates the skin from underlying fatty tissue and muscle, removes excess fat, trims sagging skin and muscle, and then closes the incisions with fine sutures.

In some cases, there might be no need of skin removal from the fat pocket beneath the lower eyelids. In such case, surgeon may perform a transconjunctival blepharoplasty.

Swelling and bruising is likely to occur after the surgery and may stay for three weeks. Patients need to stay calm and wait till the swelling goes away.

If your eyes have started to droop or sag, or for that matter, excess skin and fat around the brow area is diminishing your vision, then you too can go for blepharoplasty in NYC.
