BLOG : The Top 5 Benefits Of Blepharoplasty Surgery

25th, Apr 2024

Cosmetic eyelid surgery (also known as a blepharoplasty involves removing excess skin or fat from around the eyes to give a more alert and youthful appearance. In this blog we will delve into the top five benefits of blepharoplasty surgery, shedding light on how it can positively impact an individual’s life.

Improved Aesthetic Appearance

One of the primary motivations for undergoing eyelid surgery is to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes. Over time, factors such as aging, genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits can contribute to sagging eyelids, excess skin and fat deposits around the eyes, giving a tired or aged appearance. Eyelid surgery addresses these concerns by removing excess skin and fat, restoring a more youthful and refreshed look to the eyes.

 

Improved Vision

Blepharoplasty surgery can also be performed to help improve visual function of the eyes. Excessive upper eyelid tissue can obscure the upper part of the visual field. Lifting the upper lids with your fingers can help determine if this is a problem. If the upper visual field improves or vision brightens, this type of surgery may be of benefit to improve your sight. A formal visual field test may be helpful in this situation, this can be booked at Kingsbridge Opticians – part of the Kingsbridge Healthcare Group.

 

Elimination of Under-Eye Bags and Dark Circles

Under-eye bags and dark circles are common concerns that can make individuals appear tired, aged, or perpetually fatigued. While adequate rest, hydration, and skincare may help mitigate these issues to some extent, they often persist due to genetic predisposition or structural changes in the area. Blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags by removing or repositioning excess fat deposits and tightening the surrounding skin, resulting in a smoother and more refreshed under-eye contour.

 

Long-lasting Results

Unlike temporary solutions such as makeup or topical treatments, the results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting and often permanent. While individual aging processes may continue over time, the structural improvements achieved through eyelid surgery typically last for many years. Advancements in surgical techniques have led to more precise and natural-looking outcomes, further enhancing patient satisfaction and prolonging the longevity of results.

 

Boosted Self-Confidence and Emotional Well-being

Perhaps one of the most profound benefits of blepharoplasty surgery is the positive impact it can have on a person's self-confidence and emotional well-being. Feeling dissatisfied with one's appearance, especially in a prominent facial feature like the eyes, can take a toll on self-esteem and overall quality of life. By addressing concerns such as sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, and dark circles, blepharoplasty can empower individuals to feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.
