Blepharoplasty: What Is It and Why Do I Need It?

Patients seek out plastic surgery for a variety of reasons, but oftentimes it is to correct a feature that they are unsatisfied with. The eyelids are an area that can be of concern, and those who are looking to correct drooping eyelids or bags under their eyes would love the results that a blepharoplasty, or eye lift, can give them.

What Is It?
Blepharoplasty is a procedure that aims to either lift the eyelids or remove bags underneath the eyes (or both, if needed). This technique requires a skilled plastic surgeon to ensure that the results come out looking natural and beautiful. The procedure is quick and takes roughly 30 minutes to complete. Many people find they are able to get back to everyday life approximately 7-10 days after the surgery, and around 2 weeks post-operation is when most patients notice their bruising and swelling have cleared up.

Why Do I Need It?
With age, gravity tends to pull everything downward. It’s simply a fact of life, but it doesn’t have to get in the way. If you are unhappy with the bags under your eyes or sagging in your eyelids, an eyelid lift is a great choice. Blepharoplasty can help you look years younger by correcting these issues.

Impacted Vision
In some extreme cases, sagging eyelids can impact your vision. This condition, which is medically referred to as ptosis, requires an experienced plastic surgeon. Making time to have this procedure done can help you in all areas of life, and enabling you to see clearly and with no obstruction.
