plastic surgery for the eyes

Our eyes might be small, but they can play a big part in determining the facial appearance. This makes sense. Our eyes our located in the central portion of the face. They are what other people look directly at when we speak to them. So, it’s no wonder that our eyes have a large say in the way we look. Unfortunately, it’s all too common for our eyes to make us look tired or old before our time. This is why eyelid surgery (or blepharoplasty) is so consistently in-demand for both men and women.

If you are considering eyelid surgery as a way to rejuvenate your appearance and treat your “tired-looking” eyes, there are some things you should understand about this procedure before making any decisions. For starters, eyelid surgery can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids (or both) depending on your specific needs. It can be used to treat several different things that affect the appearance of your eyes including bags under the eyes, sagging upper lids that can affect your vision, fatty deposits that cause puffiness, and more. If you’re worried about scarring, keep in mind that visible scarring after eyelid surgery is typically extremely minimal and sometimes even hidden by the lower eyelids. Whatever scarring you do experience will fade in time with the proper care.

After decades of performing eyelid surgery I have seen firsthand the fantastic results that this procedure can provide. Although eyelid surgery is typically very safe to undergo, it’s still necessary to speak with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to confirm that you are healthy enough to undergo the procedure.
