Eyes being a primary way of facial expression are the central focus of gauging a person’s beauty always. Beautiful eyes are ever desirable and brighten up the face. The first signs of ageing are usually seen around the eyes. Hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, bagginess, sagging of the eyelid skin, droopy eyelids, skin folds around the eye are some of the signs. Unfortunately, the signs of ageing can greatly impact the appearance of our eyes, so that what they reflect is not how we feel. The most common causes include heredity, ageing, chronic sun exposure and sun damage, pollution, irregular sleeping habits and chronic lack of sleep, significant fluctuations in weight, dietetic indiscretions, and medical problems like hyper or hypothyroidism and liver diseases.

The most common causes of this include heredity, aging, chronic sun exposure and sun damage, pollution, irregular sleeping habits and chronic lack of sleep, significant fluctuations in weight, dietetic indiscretions, and medical problems like hyper or hypothyroidism and liver diseases. Recent advances in cosmetic surgery now allow us to reduce and remove these changes around the eyes, a process called surgical rejuvenation or Blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty can selectively be done for either the upper or lower eyelid. Usually both the eyelids of both the eyes are done together for a complete rejuvenation. More often, it is combined with other procedures like face-lift and brow lift for a comprehensive rejuvenation of the face.

Who is it for?

If you are bothered by upper eyelids with excess, drooping skin that makes you appear sad or angry, or eyes that look tired due to puffiness or bags, cosmetic eyelid surgery may be right for you. Person with lower eyelid sagging, bulges, wrinkles, folds and puffiness will also benefit from lower eyelid blepharoplasty. In general, adults with the above eye problems, of any age who are in good health, moderately fit and overall have good muscle tone are good candidates for eyelid rejuvenation. They should not have any life threatening illness or medical conditions. Patients who smoke can have an increased risk of complications.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure of eyelids which involves removal of excess fat or skin from upper and lower eyelids, thus restoring a refreshed look and giving the eyes a more plump and youthful appearance.

Blepharoplasty can help treat the following:

• Excess fat deposit under the eyes, that makes eyes appear puffy
• Sagging or drooping skin that deforms the natural shape of the eyelids
• Wrinkles and fine lines under the eyes
• Bags under the eyes

Asian blepharoplasty, also known as “double eyelid surgery”, is a type of cosmetic surgery where the skin around the eye is reshaped (blepharoplasty). The purpose of the procedure is to create an upper eyelid with a crease (i.e. “double eyelid”) from an eyelid that is naturally without a crease.
