Eyelid Surgery- Eyelid Before and After Photos

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

It has been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Perhaps that is because the eyes are reflective and translucent and at the same project colorful beauty as other gaze at us to make visual and verbal contact. But when excess skin folds and puffiness block others from seeing the beauty of our eyes it is time to do something about it with an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty). Eyelid surgeons know that the biggest “bang for the buck” in facial plastic surgery comes from cosmetic eyelid surgery, when loose skin is removed from the upper lids and fat bags are moved or repositioned from the lower eyelids. Excess skin of the lower eyelids may also be  removed or smoothed with the laser depending on the patient’s anatomy.  The results of eyelid procedures can be very dramatic even though the eyelids are a small part of the face. That might be because the procedure not only removes the skin that is blocking a person’s ability to see our beautiful eyes but also takes away the distracting puffiness and irregularities around the eyes and further lets others concentrate on our eyes.

Eyelid surgeons must also take into consideration what else is going on around the eyes. Providing a smooth transition as the eyelids flow into the cheek is important in achieving a youthful result. Attention must be given to understanding how the brow affects the upper lid to determine how much improvement upper eyelid surgery can give each patient. And the lid shape and strength must be evaluated because eyelid surgery can be directed towards improving not only excess skin and fat but also in reshaping the lid edge to create a youthful appearance. When patients have dry eyes, blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) can be directed at working to improve dry, tearing or itchy eyes.

There are different alternatives in cosmetic eyelid procedures and so it is important to seek consultation with a Plastic Surgeon who does not only a high volume of these procedures but is capable of providing the best alternative for you based on your needs. When you see a Plastic Surgeon who has thorough training in all areas of facial plastic surgery and has been chosen by other plastic surgeons to become a plastic surgeon, you will receive the best care because a Plastic Surgeon can evaluate a patient’s entire face and offer the best cosmetic and supportive solution for the patient.
