(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery as it is more commonly known, is a form of cosmetic procedure that can be used to correct sagging or drooping eyelids to provide a more youthful, and rejuvenated appearance. There are a number of factors that can cause eyelids to sag over time, from the natural process of aging, to the accumulation of fat that makes the lids droopy and heavy.

Blepharoplasty is becoming increasingly popular as people search for new ways to improve their appearance and make themselves look younger, alongside other options such as brow lifts and the well-known facelift.

When you are putting your looks into the hands of a plastic or cosmetic surgeon, you want to be sure that the experience and talent you are dealing with is enough to provide you with the results you have always hoped for. Dr. Andrew Campbell reassures his patients with an extensive and impressive background in the realms of reconstructive and facial plastic surgery. He has established himself throughout the years as a peer in the region of facial surgery, and provides excellent, natural-looking results to many pleased patients.

Is blepharoplasty right for you?

There are many reasons why someone might choose to get eyelid lift surgery. One of the primary reasons is because they either have droopy upper eyelids, or baggy lower eyelids that have an impact on their appearance and make them feel uncomfortable about the way that they look. On the other hand, another reason is that some people have heavy upper eyelids that impair their vision in some way, or cause irritation.

Regardless of the reason, blepharoplasty can significantly improve the condition, creating a younger, more rejuvenated look, while alleviating the issues associated with oversized lids. Whether the procedure is right for you will depend initially on whether your eyelids have an impact on your field of vision or not. If they don't, then you should consider whether the expense and effort to reduce drooping lids is worth it. For most people, the decision to undergo eyelid surgery makes them a lot happier and more satisfied with their appearance.

How blepharoplasty is performed

Lower lid blepharoplasty is the most commonly performed procedure in this area, as it used to remove excess skin and bags beneath the eyes. This procedure can be completed in a number of different ways, including the use of trans-conjunctival blepharoplasty, where an incision is carefully made towards the interior of the eyelid, allowing excess fat and tissue to be removed without the need for external scars.

Upper lid blepharoplasty can be performed to correct drooping, heavy eyelids, and typically involves a surgeon making careful incisions into the crease of the eyelid so that he may remove the excess tissue and skin.

The recovery

Recovering from a blepharoplasty procedure can typically take a few weeks, and it is important that you follow the prescribed aftercare accordingly to ensure that you heal as expected. This can include using antibiotics and pain medication, as well as applying necessary ointments to the site of surgery.

After surgery, many patients will experience some manner of bruising and swelling around the eyes, but it's important to remember that this is temporary, and should disappear within a couple of weeks. Furthermore, external incisions around the eyelids can leave scars, but these will become faint after time and blend with the natural texture of the skin.
