Windows To The Soul
It is often said that the eyes are
like windows to the soul. In reality, your eyes may
not always adequately represent the youthfulness of
your soul. You may frequently have people asking you
if you are tired, sad, or stressed out. They may wonder
if you're not feeling well or if you suffer from allergies.
In fact, maybe you really are tired
or sad, but fortunately you don't always have to look
like it. A very small change in the eyelids can create
a tremendous change in your outward appearance, and
in how people react to you.
Using different
techniques, eyelid surgery can remove excess eyelid
skin, pockets of bulging fat, and under eye "bags".
It can repair torn or damaged muscle, provide a more
youthful lower eyelid contour, and create an upper eyelid
crease in people of Asian descent. For some, removing
upper eyelid skin or repairing the eyelid muscle can
also improve vision or function of the eyes.
Eyelid surgery can be done at any
age, but is most common after age 40. Upper eyelid fullness
in the late 20s, 30s, or even 40s may actually be due
to lowering of the forehead and eyebrows, and not excess
eyelid skin. In this case, a browlift
is the preferred treatment.
Eyelid surgery can remove excess
skin, but will not change the quality of the skin itself.
For lines and wrinkles, a chemical
peel or laser resurfacing
may also be performed. Blepharopolasty does not prevent
crow's feet or frowning; Botox
injections are the preferred treatment for those
concerns.
