As you age, your body and skin undergo many changes that can make you look older. Wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone are just a few of the signs you may be aware of.
Another sign of aging many people overlook is drooping or sagging eyelids. Excess skin around your eyes causes puffiness, a drooping appearance, and those pesky bags you can't seem to eliminate.
Blepharoplasty is just one of the many cosmetic procedures Dr. Aisha Baron and our team offer at Breast, Body, Beauty Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgery in Atlanta, Georgia. This procedure provides stunning benefits without the need for a more invasive facelift.
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that addresses excess skin or fat on or around your eyelids. Dr. Baron performs the procedure on your upper or lower eyelids or both at once.
The goal of eyelid surgery is to enhance the appearance of your eyelids while improving your visual field. With a simple procedure, we remove excess skin, fat, and muscle to give you a more youthful appearance.
You may be a good candidate for blepharoplasty if you're having trouble seeing due to excess or sagging skin or if you feel embarrassed about how your eyelids look. Dr. Baron treats the following issues through blepharoplasty surgery:
Many people choose blepharoplasty over more invasive procedures because it's extremely successful. It's a relatively simple surgery with excellent results, including a younger-looking face.
One reason to consider blepharoplasty is drooping skin and sagging lower lids, which can reduce your confidence. These issues often make you look much older, which decreases your self-esteem and ability to go out and enjoy life.
Dr. Baron offers eyelid surgery for those who want a youthful glow in a straightforward procedure. As you age, it's common for your skin to lose elasticity due to decreased collagen production. The result is sagging skin that sometimes affects your eyelids and the area just below each eye.
Even if the rest of your skin is flawless, sagging eyelids significantly age your appearance. Blepharoplasty corrects the excess skin or fat to provide a refreshed, youthful glow that creams and home treatment alone can't provide.
The results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting, especially with good skin hygiene and home care. Dr. Baron discusses what to use and what to avoid to keep your results looking great even after a few years.
One of the benefits of blepharoplasty is the ability to see results almost immediately, although they continue to improve over the next six months. Right after surgery, you'll have some swelling and discomfort that should disappear in a few weeks.
Over the first two weeks, the removal of excess skin is apparent. After about six weeks, almost all of the swelling and bruising should subside, leaving you with the final results. At this time, you should notice a significant decrease in sagging eyelids, puffiness, and drooping.
It takes about six months for your eyelids to completely heal, the swelling to go away, and for you to finally see the stunning results in the mirror.
