Upper Eyelid Correction

The eyes are perhaps our most important facial features. They are our source of vision, but not only that - 'the eyes are the mirror of the soul' and have the ability to show our feelings, and emotions, and to greatly influence overall facial expressions.

Unfortunately, the eye area often shows the earliest signs of ageing. The upper and lower eyelids may develop 'bags', folds or wrinkles that can add years to one's appearance. There may be swelling and puffiness especially in the morning that gradually becomes more permanent, and there is often a lowering of the brow line. However, these problems are not just age-related, they can be hereditary in origin, when they usually appear in the twenty to thirty age group, or can be due to allergy or some systemic disorder that can then lead to earlier ageing. Aesthetically, these conditions might be visually unattractive and create an unnecessary or premature impression of ageing. The upper lid can also sag sufficiently to actually impair vision. The treatment is usually for the middle-aged and over but in general the earlier the condition is treated, the better as this slows further deterioration with successful results. Other ageing signs will occur in time, but the 'bags' are unlikely to return.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical operation designed to remove the excess fatty tissue, muscle and loose skin, and to create a more youthful, wide-eyed look. The lower eye operation is obviously used in cases of eye bag removal. All types of wrinkles around the eyes will be lessened by blepharoplasty, but not totally eradicated - a chemical peel may help further with wrinkles. In summary, blepharoplasty is primarily a treatment to remove excess skin and fatty tissue.

The operation is usually performed under twilight anaesthesia. General anaesthesia can be used if preferred and/or if necessary. The procedure itself takes an hour or more for either upper or lower eyes depending on the individual case. If a general anaesthetic is used, a one-night stay in hospital will be required. If it is undertaken with local anaesthesia, a day stay in the clinic will be sufficient. Between four to seven days post-operatively the stitches will be removed.

There may be some discomfort, and some swelling, tenderness and bruising of the eye area must be expected, but this is only temporary. Patients usually return to work after one week, as make-up is allowed after the stitches have been removed and most of the swelling has subsided.

What Can Eyelid/Eyebad Correction Do For Me?
Eyelid/Eyebad Correction (Blepharoplasty) can improve your appearance, help with vision, and eliminate the presence of under-eye bags. Take a look at the answers to some frequently asked questions about blepharoplasty, and find out if the procedure is right for you.

What Are The Benefits Of Eye Surgery?
Blepharoplasty can dramatically reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and saggy eyelids. The area surrounding the eyes can sometimes develop a tired, droopy look, which can be corrected with eyelid surgery. Plus, the procedure can also help with vision problems caused by drooping eyelids.

Will Blepharoplasty Correct My Crows Feet?
When performed by itself, blepharoplasty will not correct crow's feet. However, eyelid surgery is often performed in conjunction with other treatments such as dermal fillers to eliminate crow's feet and other types of wrinkles.

What Causes Dark Circles Under My Eyes?
The skin of the eyelid is the thinnest on the human body. The darkness that can appear under the eyes is typically caused by blood circulation underneath the skin. This condition can be exacerbated by exhaustion, illness, poor nutrition, irritation, and other factors.

How Long Will The Results Last?
Eyelid surgery is known to have long-lasting, even permanent results; however, it will not stop the natural aging process. Many eyelid surgery patients experience a dramatic improvement in the appearance of their eyes, such as a more youthful aesthetic, which lasts for years. In some cases, blepharoplasty can even improve vision. Learn more about what you can expect after blepharoplasty.

Is This Type Of Surgery Painful?
The surgery itself is typically done under local anaesthesia or under general anaesthesia if the patient requests it. After the surgery, feelings of tightness and soreness in the eyes can be treated with analgesics.

Will The Be Scarring From This Procedure?
Incisions for blepharoplasty are made in the creases or edges around the eyelids to minimize visible scarring. Patients considering the procedure for correction of under-eye bags may qualify for transconjunctival eyelid surgery, which removes fat without removing skin. In this procedure, there is no visible scarring.
