Blepharoplasty is EyeLid Surgery for Drooping, Sagging EyeLid Lift of Upper, Lower Ptosis
Do you have droopy, saggy eyelids? Then you have what is medically referred to as ptosis.
If the drooping and sagging of your eyelids obstructs some of your vision, then an upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) clears the way to full vision. For those seeking a younger looking appearance, then an upper and lower eyelid lift (cosmetic/elective blepharoplasty) may be what’s required to remove extra skin from around your eyes.
There are a couple of medical conditions for which blepharoplasty may not be a good idea. They include:
- dry eyes
- diabetes
- heart disease
- hypothyroidism
- high blood pressure
- hyperthyroidism ~ Graves’ disease
Eyelid surgery is not a risk free proposition. Some of the risk topics you may want to discuss with your chosen plastic surgeon prior to the lid of your eyes being lifted are:
- scarring
- bleeding
- infection
- numbness
- blood clots
- slow healing
- eyelid swelling
- persistent pain
- skin discoloration
- medication reaction
- double, blurred vision
- difficulty closing eyes
- skin sensation change
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, will do nothing for your wrinkles, sagging eyebrows nor dark circles.
