These Unavoidable Reasons will Necessitate the Need for Eyelid Surgery
You may get puffy or baggy eyes with age because the muscles around the lower and upper eyelids become loosened and fat cells begin to accumulate there. There may also exist vision issues because of having excess fat around the eyelids. Most of the cases are of middle or elderly aged people, or genetics can be the reason for this issue too. In this surgery, the surgeon eliminates fat cells from both the upper and lower eyelids, thus making you look younger.
Upper Eyelids: For upper eyelids, the surgeon will create a cut through incision along the natural crease to cut off a layer. This results in scarring which looks like a natural crease later.
Lower Eyelids: The procedure of treating lower eyelids involves removing the excess fat from the inner area, so that even if there will be scarring, it will not be visible to others.
When is Blepharoplasty Surgery Necessary?
Several problems and factors make eyelid surgery necessary such as vision impairment, aches in the muscles, aged appearance, and more. It is possible to resolve all these hassles with the help of Blepharoplasty Surgery. Let’s discuss more about these problems right here.
1. Blocking the vision
Saggy skin around the eyelids, especially from the upper eyelids, obstructs vision, making it difficult for people to see clearly. It hence becomes inevitable to remove this hanging and loose skin around the eyes in order to improve the vision of the concerned patient. To eliminate extra skin, the surgeon makes a cut-through incision along the eye’s natural crease. Hence, unclear peripheral vision can be a major issue for having the eyelid surgery done.
2. Saggy/droopy/puffy eyes
Ptosis or puffiness in the eyes can be a result of the extra skin around the eyes. These baggy eyes can lead to several major problems as well. It is crucial to get away with these extra skin tissues from the upper eyelids to set yourself free from Ptosis.
3. Itching & irritation
Folds can occasionally result from extra skin around the eyelids. They may itch or irritate the area around the eyes, thus causing infection. They may also cause redness around the eyes. In addition, itching can also happen from sweat around the eyes. Blepharoplasty surgery can resolve all these problems thus setting you free from any possibility of infection or inflammation otherwise.
4. Blepharospasm
In this condition, the extra skin and muscle tissues hanging around the eyes make it difficult for the affected person to open their eyes spontaneously and voluntarily. Eyelid surgery can help you get away with the discomfort, stress, and itching that this condition causes by removing this excess loose skin around the eyelids, especially upper eyelids and then by tightening the skin.
5. Making you look old
Getting a blepharoplasty can also help to appreciate your looks. Usually, you appear older than you are because of the loosening and sagging skin around your eyes as you age. This extra skin is removed during blepharoplasty surgery, and your eye skin is tightened as a result, making you appear younger.
6. Entropion or ectropion
When your eyelid turns inward, especially the lower eyelid, it is the condition of entropion. Likewise, when it turns outward, especially the upper eyelids, it is ectropion. Both these eye conditions have the potential to seriously affect the eyes, leading to vision loss or severe infections. Such problems are possible to avoid with eyelid surgery.
7. Muscles Ache/Headache
Droopy and saggy eyes can lead to headaches or muscle aches, which can cause a variety of issues in the daily lives of those affected. Aches in the head and muscles of this nature may attain appreciable relief by eyelid surgery.
8. Dry Eyes
When the area around the eyes is dry, it could stop producing tears, which is crucial for keeping the eyes smooth and free of infection. Baggy eyes and extra skin tissue can also contribute to this problem. Tightening of muscles on your face during eyelid surgery helps to treat this kind of dry eye syndrome.
9. Disappearance of Eyelid Crease
The crease between the eyelids vanishes when too much skin and muscle is hanging down around the eyes. In this instance, during the eyelid surgery, lifting of the upper eyelid helps to tighten the skin, which causes the natural crease in the upper eyelids to form.
The need for eyelid surgery can be completely medical or cosmetic or a combination of both. Immaterial of the reason for the patient to decide for the surgery, it is the duty of the professional to deliver the best results to satisfy the patient.
