Upper Blepharoplasty - DrFarahSite

Blepharoplasty means aesthetic surgical procedures of the eyelids.
This procedure is often carried out around the age of forty.
They can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids alone, or all four at the same time.
This technique may be carried out alone or in association with other cosmetic facial surgery    (brow-lift, forehead-lift, face and neck-lift) or with techniques such as laser resurfacing, dermabrasion or Botox.
The unsightly aspects most commonly found are the following:
Upper eyelids: heavy and drooping with a more or less marked skin-fold and bulging fat.
Lower eyelids: bulging fat, responsible for "bags" under the eyes.
The procedure aims to correct these problems durably by surgical removal of excess skin, fat and muscle, without of course affecting the normal functions of the eyelids.
It should be noted that other age-related problems may be present but their treatment requires supplementary surgery or fillers or Botox.
These problems include sagging of the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes.
It can however be done much earlier where the problem is congenital rather than age-related, for example in the case of bags under the eyes.
The goal of a blepharoplasty is to correct signs of aging and remove the tired look due to the heavy eyelids.
