As the aesthetic industry shifts with advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology, one procedure has remained a popular choice with women and men. Blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, has an enduring appeal. Patients in their late 30s and older may choose to have the procedure to stay looking young.
What makes this procedure so effective and sought-after? Read on to learn more.
Addresses Sagging and Puffy Eyelids
Blepharoplasty has remained widespread for the past couple of decades largely because no other procedure eliminates excess tissue and droopy skin from the upper lids so efficiently. In addition, it is the best surgery to correct multiple cosmetic issues caused by sagging eyelids, like a sleepy appearance or constant scowl.
Likewise, a lower eyelid lift is the leading cosmetic procedure that removes stubborn undereye bags that plague many people as they grow older.
Dramatic Upgrade With Subtle Changes
Your eyes are probably the first thing other people notice when meeting you. Their appearance expresses your feelings as ardently as what you say. For example, if you struggle with sagging lids, you may look haggard. Lifting the upper lids by a few millimeters can dramatically reduce eye puffiness, and addressing the excess skin on your lower eyelids can deliver a brighter, more alert appearance.
A fear of looking feminine is one concern men often have about undergoing facial cosmetic surgery. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Venkata Erella specializes in male blepharoplasty to lift the eyelids for a fresher, younger appearance while retaining a masculine look.
The Process Is Quick and Convenient
Dr. Erella will remove minimal fat and tissue during the operation. Recovering from blepharoplasty is simple and involves minimal discomfort.
While your eyes will tire more easily for a couple of weeks after the procedure, the operation will not affect your vision or require you to wear bulky bandages over your eyes. Most patients return to work a week after surgery, some wearing makeup to cover any bruising.
Dr. Erella’s skill allows him to conceal the tiny incisions required for eyelid surgery, making them almost undetectable. He hides them inside the natural folds or inside the lids. This technique makes any scarring virtually invisible while your eyes are open or closed.
Though optimal improvements take up to eight months, you should be selfie-ready within three to four months.
Perfect Complement to a Facelift
Patients looking for a comprehensive facial improvement may opt to combine their eyelid lift with a facelift. Blepharoplasty perfectly complements facelift surgery to restore youthful contours while opening your eyes.
You can also combine blepharoplasty with other cosmetic treatments like Botox or dermal fillers for a significant boost to your confidence and self-esteem.
