Cosmetic surgery often delivers transformative results, even with subtle procedures. Consider your eyelids: even though they are small, sagging or droopy eyelids can noticeably affect your overall look, making you appear tired or older than you actually feel.
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, provides a revitalizing option by firming the skin, allowing you to attain a renewed and youthful appearance. A common question patients ask about eyelid surgery is whether it will change the natural shape of their eyes.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and tissue from the eyelids, tightening the area to address sagging or droopiness. The goal is to restore a smoother, firmer appearance to the upper or lower eyelids—or both, depending on your needs. By removing excess skin, blepharoplasty can also reduce puffiness and bags under the eyes, providing a more youthful contour.
What Concerns Can Eyelid Surgery Address?
Blepharoplasty is a versatile procedure that can treat a range of eyelid-related concerns, including:
- Sagging or loose skin that distorts your eye’s natural contour or affects your vision.
- Fat deposits that create puffiness or under-eye bags.
- Drooping lower lids that expose the white below your iris.
- Wrinkles and extra skin on the lower eyelids.
Before the procedure, your surgeon will evaluate your eyelids, go over your medical history, and decide if you're a suitable candidate for surgery.
Does Blepharoplasty Change Eye Shape?
In most cases, blepharoplasty will not alter the shape of your eyes. If you have significant sagging or loose skin, your surgeon may recommend combining a lid-tightening procedure with blepharoplasty to ensure optimal results. During your consultation, you’ll have the chance to discuss your concerns and goals in detail, and your surgeon will tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your aesthetic vision.
