Can Blepharoplasty Make a Difference?

Can blepharoplasty make a difference to my life?

Slacking muscle tissue and less-elastic skin can result in deep creases in the lower eyelids and folds in the upper eyelids.
There are muscles all around the eye. When muscles below the skin in the eye region slacken, it can cause fat that cushions the eye ball to move forward.

• This is known as bulging.
• The result of this is an appearance of bagginess under the eye – also known as eye bags.
• There are no exact markers for when eye bags can get worse, and in some families, members can be prone to them developing in early adulthood.
• When you have inherited eye bags, there is little you can do to prevent it. This is because the condition has a tendency to appear regardless of diet, weight or age.
• Patients who have a condition that affects their eyes often report symptoms being worse in the morning, especially after a lack of sleep or a stressful time.
• Common complaints relating to the eyelids include; bags, prominent creases and folds of skin.
• As we age, we can also experience eyelids that droop. This is more commonly related to the lower eyelids. Whereas the upper eyelids are more prone to skin folds gathering above the eye.

In more severe cases, these skin folds can over-hang the eyelashes and can become visible to the line of vision.

• So can blepharoplasty, aka eyelid surgery make a difference?
• If you are suffering any of the above symptoms, and are unhappy or feel that your self confidence is lowered by eye-bags, drooping lids or bulging eyes, then blepharoplasty can help.
