Reasons Why Someone Would Want an Eye Lift

Parbhu Oculofacial Plastic Surgery provides eye lift surgery to the residents of the Windermere area. An eye lift, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure where excess skin and/or fat is removed from the upper eyelids, lower lids, or both to correct a condition called dermatochalasis. Excess upper eyelid skin can make it difficult to open your eyes and keep them open.

An Eye Lift Can Enhance Appearance

As people age, they lose elasticity in their eyelids. Some people develop hooding of their eyelids due to extra fat in the area. These conditions can lead to the appearance of premature aging. The majority of people who have this procedure are age 35 and older.

People who are seeking a blepharoplasty procedure often say that they look tired, they look "old", and they have no other recourse. While people can lose fat in most areas on their bodies, no amount of diet and exercise can reduce the fat content of the eyelids. The puffiness caused by lower eyelid fat makes people look sleep deprived.

Blepharoplasty Can Improve Vision

Excess loose eyelid skin and fat can interfere with vision. It causes hooding, which makes it harder to open the eyes wide enough to see normally. Over time, you might notice you have to use your facial muscles in your forehead to see clearly. This can lead to headaches, or pain in your forehead or eyebrow muscles.

Peripheral vision can be greatly impacted by excess eyelid tissue. Since the skin often accumulates at the external corners of the eyes, it can be difficult to see to the side without turning your head. When the skin is removed, vision can be restored to its previous acuity.

Regain Self-Confidence

Excess eyelid tissue can cause a person to feel insecure about their appearance. People who have the procedure report feeling better about themselves, saying they look younger and rested.
