Blepharoplasty, also referred to as eyelid surgery or surgery of the eyelids, is a plastic surgery procedure able to provide a more youthful, refreshed appearance to the eye area by correcting droopy eyelids and puffy, under eye bags. The procedure involves the removal of excess fat, muscle and skin from the upper and lower eyelids. Good candidates include men and women who are looking to improve puffy under eye bags or drooping upper eyelids.
Blepharoplasty, or cosmetic eyelid surgery, remains one of the most requested aesthetic facial procedures. Both heredity and aging can influence the appearance of the eyelid area. The upper lid begins to show evidence of aging almost before any other facial feature. The lower eyelid follows with the development of bags and skin draping. Some patients exhibit hereditary bags under the eyes, and while not a result of aging, can begin in the early twenties.
Because there is little room for error in blepharoplasty, both careful preoperative physical analysis and meticulous surgical execution are imperative for a successful outcome. In general, however, the benefits are much greater than the risks for these procedures. Both the surgeon and the patient universally find the results rewarding.
As in all aesthetic surgery, each surgeon brings to the consultation and then to the operating room an artistic goal as to how the final result of blepharoplasty should appear. The surgeon has certain goals that he tries to achieve in blepharoplasty surgery. These are:
1) Minimal scars in the upper and lower lids,
2) Least possible redundant skin,
3) Smoothest transition between cheek bone and lower eyelid,
4) Symmetry of the upper and lower eyelid position,
5) Symmetry of fat position,
6) Durability of the procedure,
7) An overall unoperated appearance,
8) A non-feminizing male upper lid,
9) Rapid and uneventful post-operative course,
10) The absence of complications.
