Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery has grown in popularity in the plastic surgery industry. Advanced medical technology and methods have made this delicate procedure safer, more effective and natural-appearing, increasing the number of surgeries performed each year. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, eyelid surgery has become the second most popular facial plastic surgery, only surpassed by rhinoplasty in 2017. Here are some of the reasons so many people are pursuing eyelid surgery.
Upper Eyelid Lift
When the skin and tissue on the upper eyelid sag, it can make the person look older, sad and tired. Upper eyelid lifts can rejuvenate the eyes and face, even improve vision for some people if the skin is interfering with their eyesight.
Asian or Double Eyelid Surgery
Some people of Asian descent are born without the crease or double eyelid. Asian or double eyelid surgery can add the crease on the upper eyelid that can change the shape and overall appearance of the eye. The result can be eyes that are rounder and with more options for adding eye makeup.
Lower Eyelid Lift
When the lower eyelid sags or the tear troughs become noticeable, it creates tired, aged eyes. The skin and fat shifts downwards, creating bags under the eyes that never go away, even with enough rest. Lower eyelid lifts remove excess skin and fat under the eyes and tighten the skin for a rested, more youthful appearance.
The eyes are one the first features people notice, and one of the most affected by aging. It makes sense that this area is becoming more popular when it comes to enhancements through plastic surgery. If you are considering eyelid surgery, make sure to choose an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for your procedure for the best results.
