If there is one cosmetic procedure that could make an impact in changing or revitalizing the appearance of your face, what would it be? Would it be Botox, dermal fillers or Kybella? What about skin tightening or laser skin rejuvenation? Would you be surprised to learn that one of the most popular procedures people choose to rejuvenate their appearance is the blepharoplasty eyelid surgery procedure?

According to recent statistics, many individuals choose to rejuvenate the appearance of their face and eyes with this procedure. Dr. Mayli Davis performs the blepharoplasty procedure on many patients seeking cosmetic solutions for eyelid sagging.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to treat sagging eyelids. Sagging eyelids can interfere with vision or make a face look older, angry or tired. Blepharoplasty can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids.

Why Blepharoplasty?

Eyelids begin to sag for a variety of reasons, including age and the loss of skin elasticity and firmness caused by collagen breakdown, illness or genetics. Other causes of sagging eyelids include the stretching of the levator muscles, the muscles that hold your eyebrows in place and allow you to move them up and down. When the levator muscles stretch or this skin laxity changes, the eyelids can droop excessively, leaving your eyes looking unfriendly or tired.

Removing excess skin and smoothing the area around the eyelids can reduce the tired or unfriendly appearance and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

When Should You Have Blepharoplasty?

One of the most common questions we hear about the blepharoplasty is when is the best time to have it. The answer really varies depending on each individual’s specific situation. If your situation is severe and your sagging eyelids are impeding your vision when driving or reading, you may want to schedule your appointment with Dr. Davis sooner rather than later.

If your situation is not as severe, you may be OK waiting a little longer. Or, you may want to discuss with Dr. Davis your options such as injectables that are now being used to target sagging eyes.

Who Should Have Blepharoplasty?

Individuals should get blepharoplasty when they are tired of living with eyelid sagging and its effects on their appearance or they are experiencing vision impairment because of drooping eyelids.
