Eyelid Correction
Sooner or later our eyelids become more sensitive to gravity. Eyelids with excess or loose tissue can make you look older and more tired or can even impair your vision.
A plastic surgeon can remove the excess skin and fatty tissue of the upper or lower eyelid. This procedure is called a blepharoplasty or an eyelid correction, it is a relatively simple rejuvenation and revitalisation procedure.
The surgery
During your first consultation, the doctor will check whether an eyelid correction is what you need. Sometimes loss of firmness in the eyelids is caused by sagging brows. So when dealing with sagging eyelids, you might also want to consider an eyebrow lift.
Your medical records will be discussed during this first consultation as well. If you have any medical issues with eyes, thyroid gland, iris sphincter muscle or tear production, an eyelid correction might not be a good idea.
Causes of droopy eyelids and bags under the eyes:
The predominant cause of droopy eyelids and bags under the eyes is age. Sooner or later, everyone will have to deal with this problem. Cigarettes, alcohol and sun exposure can also accelerate this process.
The elasticity of the fibrous connective tissue decreases as you age. Consequently, your skin loses its youthfulness and flexibility and the upper eyelids start to hang. The connective tissue that keeps the fatty tissue in its place becomes weaker, resulting in the much dreaded bags. The solution for this problem is blepharoplasty. An eyelid correction is a standard procedure that can rejuvenate your appearance in a relatively easy way.
