Eyelid correction (Blepharoplasty) is a plastic surgery procedure that removes excess skin and fat bags on the eyelids. It is natural that as we age, our skin loses elasticity. This can be a genetic problem related to the skin on the eyelids, but visibly sagging skin on the eyelids is mainly caused by aging and the natural aging of the skin. The reason for the surgery is primarily aesthetic, but in some cases also medical. This type of procedure is mainly requested by women in the age category from 25 to 70 years. However, if you are worried about your charming look as you age, you can rely on plastic surgery and the hands of an experienced surgeon. You are only one consultation away from the procedure.
The skin of the upper eyelid is the thinnest on the body, so it is very important to mark the part to be removed with millimeter precision before the procedure. During the procedure, excess skin along with sagging muscle and possibly fat, which cause this undesirable effect, are removed.
The ideal shape of the lower eyelid is an S-shape, which must be maintained even after the procedure. The small operation is completed with a few stitches.
