So, if you want an upper blepharoplasty and are curious about before and after photos showing the results of surgery day by day, read our short blog post with real example photos.
It‘s not a lousy way to start with a question that gives you an idea about blepharoplasty and why people decide to have this surgery!
Why blepharoplasty?
What is the most common reason for completing a blepharoplasty, like upper and lower blepharoplasty? Surgery aims to enhance the look of the area around the eyes and clear eyesight hampered by slinking eyelids. Blepharoplasty can change draped skin that blocks or obscures your eyesight.
The skin around the eyes can droop as people age, especially in the visual field’s top and outer areas, possibly blocking peripheral vision. This can compromise daily tasks like driving. By removing the extra skin, blepharoplasty helps to restore or improve the field of vision.
Blepharoplasty can help rectify disorders, including ptosis or drooping of the upper eyelid. If untreated, this can compromise eyesight and function and be a cosmetic issue.
I know the general description of blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is not enough; you need a specific idea of what problem it corrects. So, look at the table below for a better and more detailed understanding!
| Problem | Description | Eyelid Area | Functional or Cosmetic |
| Droopy Upper Eyelids (Ptosis) | Excess skin and weakened muscles cause the upper eyelids to droop, potentially obstructing vision. | Upper Eyelids | Functional and Cosmetic |
| Obstructed Peripheral Vision | Severely sagging skin around the eyes can reduce side vision, especially in the upper and outer parts of the visual field. | Upper Eyelids | Functional |
| Excess Skin on Upper Eyelids | Loose or sagging skin creates folds that disturb the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes affecting vision. | Upper Eyelids | Functional and Cosmetic |
| Bags Under the Eyes | Excess fatty deposits and loose skin create puffiness and bags beneath the eyes. | Lower Eyelids | Cosmetic |
| Droopiness of Lower Eyelids | Lower eyelids sag, potentially exposing too much of the white part of the eye (sclera). | Lower Eyelids | Cosmetic |
| Fine Wrinkles and Extra Skin on Lower Eyelids | Aging causes fine wrinkles and excess skin to develop on the lower eyelids. | Lower Eyelids | Cosmetic |
| Eyelid Malfunctions (e.g., Entropion, Ectropion) | Conditions like entropion (inward turning of the eyelid) or ectropion (outward turning of the eyelid) can cause discomfort and affect eye function. | Upper and Lower Eyelids | Functional |
| Puffy Appearance | Fatty deposits and weakened muscles cause a puffy appearance around the eyes. | Upper and Lower Eyelids | Cosmetic |
| Sagging Eyebrows | Although not directly corrected by blepharoplasty, sagging eyebrows can contribute to droopy eyelids and may be addressed simultaneously with a brow lift. | Brow Area | Cosmetic |
Blepharoplasty procedure
We offer two kinds of eyelid surgery: one for the upper eyelids and one for the lower eyelids. Each type targets a different area of the eye to enhance its appearance.
- Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty removes extra skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper eyes. It works exceptionally well to heal sagging eyelids that make it hard to see.
- Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty removes or moves extra fat and skin from the lower eyelids to make them look less saggy. It can also fix lower lids that hang down too far, which can show too much of the white part of the eye.
