Eyelid surgery is a form of plastic surgery that serves to reshape the eyelid in order to restore its proper functionality, whether that’s bringing it back to its natural position or correcting a natural eyelid issue. Blepharoplasty will likely be your best option if:
You’re Unhappy With Your Sagging Eyelids
Over time, the skin naturally begins to lose its elasticity, meaning that it will start to wrinkle, droop, and sag. This, of course, also applies to your eyelids. Although wrinkles around the eyelids and eyelid sagging are often just cosmetic issues, they can also cause some individuals chronic eye discomfort. Beyond that, excessively drooping eyelids may even adversely affect your vision.
You’re Suffering From Ptosis
When the sagging of eyelids begins to impact one’s vision negatively, the condition is referred to as ptosis. As mentioned above, this can be a product of aging. However, it can also be the result of an eye injury and some form of congenital condition. Regardless, blepharoplasty is the go-to method of correcting any issues that ptosis may be causing.
You’re Experiencing Other Eyelid Issues
There are also a number of less common but equally as disruptive eyelid issues that can arise and be resolved by eyelid surgery, including, but not limited to:
- Blepharitis, a condition that causes eyelid inflammation and irritation.
- Entropion and ectropion are both conditions in which the eyelid curls excessively either inward (entropion) or outward (ectropion).
- General eyelid trauma caused by physical injury.
