A sign of aging is sagging skin. Your skin turns out to be thin, dry, and dull as it stretches over time and the muscles that support it become weak. It is especially noticeable all over your face and around your eyes which can be frustrating and harm your self-confidence. Sagging eyelids can make you look older than you are, and extra fat may collect around your eyes, adding to the overall look.

The extra fat in combination with your sagging eyelids can lead to:

• Drooping eyebrows
• Drooping upper eyelids
• Bags under your eyes
• Decreased peripheral vision

Droopy eyelids that are common with age can make you look older and tired, and make you feel self-conscious. In some cases, drooping eyelids can hinder your vision, diminishing peripheral vision and partly covering your pupils. Blepharoplasty is a common procedure to improve the appearance of your eye area, making you look younger. It removes the extra sagging skin around your eyes, fixing your eyelids making a dramatic difference in your appearance.

Removing the extra skin, fat, and muscle that is pooling around your eyes greatly changes your appearance and your self-confidence. This Eyelid Surgery can make you look well-rested and alert, taking years off your face. It can help to improve the look of under-eye bags, as well. The results of blepharoplasty are dependent on each individual, however, the results last for a lifetime for most of the patients.

There are three different kinds of eyelid Surgery, and the surgery you require varies upon the shape of your eyes and other health conditions. One of these three types will be prescribed by your specialist:

Upper Eyelid Surgery: This type of blepharoplasty is used mainly to improve vision loss and appearance of the eye because of aging and genetics. This surgery is focused on the upper eyelid that can restore the function of the eye and provide a more rounded and open appearance.

Lower Eyelid Surgery: This procedure is based around the lower lid and eyes, focusing on the removal of wrinkles, correction of baggy eyes or improving appearance.

Double Eyelid Surgery: Double eyelid surgery creates a wider and larger-looking eye by making a crease in the upper eyelid. This procedure has gained much popularity and the one that is most often referenced to blepharoplasty as a whole.
