Types of Eyelid Surgery
One of the best ways to reverse the signs of aging and enhance your overall appearance is through wrinkle reduction treatments. This is especially true of wrinkle reduction for the eye area. The eyes can communicate so much about our personality and our feelings, and they can also send the wrong message since they are so expressive and noticeable.
In order to reduce wrinkles of the face and the eye area, it’s a good idea to visit our Ogden plastic surgery center to find out about all of your surgical and non-surgical options for aesthetic enhancement. One option that is particularly effective is cosmetic eyelid surgery.
About Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery
Cosmetic eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) refers to surgeries that help reduce loose skin, sagging, wrinkling, and other issues related to the upper eyelid and lower eyelids. These are two separate surgeries with different procedures, so it may be best to address each one individually so you understand what they involve and how they can best meet your needs.
Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery for the Upper Eyelids
Drooping or sagging of the upper eyelid is not aesthetically pleasing at all. In some cases, the drooping and sagging will be so severe that it can impair the vision. For these reasons, people will undergo cosmetic eyelid surgery for the upper eyelids. (It should be noted that some people undergo cosmetic eyelid surgery in order to create the natural fold/crease in the upper eyelid.)
During cosmetic upper eyelid surgery, an incision is made on the upper eyelid along the natural crease there. Placement of this incision in that area will ensure that the surgical scar remains hidden after surgery. Excess skin and tissue is removed in order to improve the appearance of the upper eyelid.
Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery for the Lower Eyelids
Puffiness or bagginess under the eyes can make you look exhausted or unhappy. As with the upper eyelids, this is an unappealing aesthetic issue. In order to reduce the puffiness and bagginess of the under eyelids, there is cosmetic eyelid surgery for the lower eyelids.
During cosmetic lower eyelid surgery, an incision is made just beneath the lower eyelashes. The placement there will help conceal the small surgical scar from view. Excess tissue is then removed from the lower eyelid and the skin is carefully tightened in that area for enhance appearance. Some minor facial liposuction may be used to remove this excess tissue.
Other Options for Facial Plastic Surgery
In addition to upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery, our Ogden cosmetic surgery center offers many other options for facial cosmetic surgery, such as facelift, brow lift, and neck lift surgeries. Each of these can also help meet your needs for anti-aging and wrinkle reduction.
