The eyes are at times referred to as the windows to the soul. They draw attention and convey much of our expressions. Through them, we not only see the world, but the world sees us as well. Our eyes reflect much of what we feel physically and emotionally. Signs of aging and hereditary factors can greatly affect the appearance of our eyes. So, what they may reflect is not really how we feel.
If the excess, drooping skin of your upper eyelids make you appear sad or angry, or puffiness or bags make you look tired, then cosmetic eyelid surgery may be a solution for you. In general, eyelid surgery will give you a more youthful and energetic appearance. Specifically, eyelid surgery removes excess skin, eliminates bags and restores firmness to the area surrounding the eye, making you look more rested and alert. Here are some signs that you may be a candidate for cosmetic eyelid surgery:
- Loose or sagging skin on the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision
- Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids
- Bags under the eyes
- Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid
This surgery is most commonly performed on adult men and women in good health who have realistic goals for improvement of the upper and/or lower eyelids. A consultation is the first step to learn how eyelid surgery can improve the appearance of your eyelids and the surrounding region.
