When the eyelids droop, it can impair vision. An eye lift can help.
The eyelids protect the eyes against foreign objects and maintain the eye’s moisture. However, the appearance of the eyes can deteriorate due to aging, exposure to environmental factors and genetics. That deterioration can sometimes eyesight influence. An eye lift operation – medical name: blepharoplasty – is a surgical treatment that can provide a solution for some of the complaints about the upper and lower eyelids.
The small incisions for an eye lift can be concealed invisibly in the natural crease of the upper lid and just below the lash of the lower lid. Sometimes they can be applied invisibly in the lower eyelid itself. These incisions remove fat and, if necessary, excess skin. After this, the skin is pulled together and the incisions are closed. This operation can bring several complications, which should be discussed with the doctor before the operation.
