Tired of looking tired? Your eyes help shape your face, and give an overall impression of you. As we age, our eyes are the first place that shows the aging process. Skin can begin to sag a bit in the eye area, and bags can begin to form under the eyes. These things together make your face look older than you are, and give an overall impression of you being sad, angry or tired all the time.
One of the ways to correct this is by having an eyelid lift. The surgical name of an eyelid lift is Blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty is one of the top five cosmetic surgical procedures. Correcting eye sag and lid droop alone can allow a person to look ten years younger! Belpharoplasty also removes the extra skin from around your eyes, improving overall vision.
Prior to having an eyelid lift and rejuvenation, you will be seen by a professional cosmetic surgeon that specializes in facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. This consultation will last about an hour. Make sure to discuss with the physician any medications you take (including herbals or supplements) during this time. Blepharoplasty is generally done with a local anesthetic as an out-patient procedure, and takes less than two hours to complete. If you and your physician prefer, blepharoplasty can be performed in a surgical center with sedation and full anesthesia. In either case, recovery takes less than a week, and you can plan on returning to work in three to five days.
If you are interested in correcting the chronic tired look of your eyes, contact your local professional cosmetic surgeon today. Consultation with a cosmetic surgeon that specializes in facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is ideal, as these surgeons have advanced training and credentials in facial surgery.
