Who says no to have a young, dynamic and always pleasing persona when it comes to beauty? And that too with women who have reached their late thirties and early forties, their elasticity in the thin and delicate eyelid tissues starts to give out. It's simply not the vision improvement now. Age catches up with other factors like obesity, swelling etc that tend to cause baggy eyelids. Hereditary is another factor that causes creases on your eyelid. Cosmetic eye surgery is among the top surgeries preformed in the pursuit to look 10-15 years younger.



The area around the eyes is the first to reflect age since it loses its elasticity and stretch. The collagen in the dermis begins to diminish. The orbicularis muscle thins and does not offer much support. Fat deposits in the area under the lower eyelid give the eyes a tired and puffy appearance. The muscles that hold this fat starts sagging. Cosmetic eye surgery can craft your eyes by lifting droopy eyelids and removing excess skin from baggy eyelids. Sometimes a brow lift of forehead lift surgery is also done to offset the effect of droopy eyebrows. Cosmetic surgery is a safe medical procedure but it is important to know things before going for the surgery.

Blepharoplasty, a cosmetic eyelid surgery is performed to remove excess skin, fat and muscle from around the eyes and to correct droopy eyelids and bags under the eyes. When an advanced amount of upper eyelid skin is present, the skin may hang over the eyelashes and cause a loss of peripheral vision. The outer and upper parts of the visual field are most commonly affected and the condition may cause difficulty with activities such as driving or reading. Blepharoplasty is performed through external incisions made along the natural skin lines of the eyelids, such as the creases of the upper lids and below the lashes of the lower lids, or from the inside surface of the lower eyelid. The incisions may extend into the crow's feet or laugh lines at the outer corners of your eyes. Blepharoplasty surgery takes one to three hours, depending on the extent of the surgery.

After surgery the eyes are lubricated with ointment and bandage may be applied. Pain medication to control the discomfort may also be prescribed by the surgeon. Some doctors even recommend eye drops to reduce eye dryness which is very common after surgery. For the first few weeks you may also experience excessive tearing, sensitivity to light, and temporary changes in your eyesight, such as blurring or double vision. Once the stitches are removed, the swelling and discoloration around your eyes will gradually subside. You start feeling much better.
