Top Five Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, comes with a multitude of physical and functional benefits. Our patients can’t stop raving about the benefits they reap after undergoing upper and lower eyelid surgery. We’ve laid out our top five benefits to getting blepharoplasty, so you know what to expect before booking your consultation.

1. Fewer Fine Lines

One of the more obvious benefits of getting blepharoplasty is getting rid of those pesky fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes. Many of our patients undergo blepharoplasty just because they’re tired of seeing crow’s feet and sagging skin around their eyes. During blepharoplasty, excess skin is removed to smooth out those folds and give you a smoother, more youthful look.

2. Say Bye-Bye to Bags

Blepharoplasty isn’t just about the upper eye and eyelid, but it’s also about ridding imperfections around the lower eye. Some of the biggest complaints our patients have include under-eye bags, puffiness under the eyes and dark circles under the eyes. Lower eyelid surgery can get rid of those fatty deposits under the eyes, leaving you looking more awake and alert.

3. Hindsight is 20/20

Ever think an eyelid surgery could improve your vision? While blepharoplasty can’t quite help your eyeglasses prescription, it can help improve blurry or disrupted vision caused by drooping and sagging eyelids. During your blepharoplasty, an incision is made in the natural crease of your eyelid to remove this excess skin and improving your overall vision. Patients leave our office wondering why they didn’t choose to get the procedure done sooner.

4. Brighter Eyes

Drooping eyelids don’t just affect our vision, but they also affect the way we look. Sagging eyelids can often make us look tired, uninterested and bored, which doesn’t make a great first impression. Blepharoplasty helps to reduce the amount of excess skin above and below the eye to make them appear wider and create a brighter, more awake overall appearance.

5. An Overall Refreshed Appearance

A combination of upper and lower blepharoplasty will smooth out the appearance of your overall eye area. Don’t believe us? Check out our blepharoplasty before and after photos to see for yourself. Getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles, drooping eyelids and under-eye bags can take years off of your appearance in just about three hours.
