What Is Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty isn’t just a fancy word for eyelid surgery – it’s a transformative procedure that can rejuvenate your entire facial appearance. This surgical technique does double duty:
For your upper lids, it’s like a mini-facelift, removing excess skin that can create a hooded effect. Say goodbye to that permanently sleepy look and hello to wider, more alert eyes.
Down below, it tackles those persistent under-eye bags that make you look tired even after a full night’s sleep. By removing or redistributing fat and tightening skin, blepharoplasty can help you look refreshed and more youthful.
But it’s not just about looks. For some, this procedure can actually improve peripheral vision by lifting heavy, drooping lids out of the way. It’s a subtle change that can make a big difference in how you see and how others see you.
Why Do People Get Eyelid Surgery
Men and women opt for eyelid surgery in Milwaukee for various reasons, both cosmetic and medical:
- Drooping Eyelids: Blepharoplasty can correct drooping eyelids (blepharoptosis or ptosis) that interfere with vision. When the upper eyelid falls lower than normal, it can obstruct the pupil, making daily activities like reading or driving challenging. For children with ptosis, surgery can prevent the development of “lazy eye” (amblyopia).
- Puffy Bags: The procedure can remove excess fat and muscle from both upper and lower eyelids. This reduces under-eye puffiness and bags that often contribute to a tired, aged appearance.
- Loose Skin: Blepharoplasty addresses excess skin on upper eyelids that can hang down, as well as excess skin and fine wrinkles on lower eyelids. This helps restore the natural contour of the upper eyelid and prevents the white of the eye from showing below the iris.
By addressing these issues, eyelid surgery can significantly improve both appearance and functionality, helping patients look more refreshed and see more clearly.
