Eyelid surgery is one of the most frequently performed plastic surgeries. They say that the eyes are the mirror of the soul, and this is undoubtedly a very special part of the body. Eyes usually reveal past years first – wrinkles or drooping eyelids can be seen on them, which is why so many people want to reverse these changes and preserve their youthful look as long as possible. This is possible thanks to eyelid surgery.
Why is blepharoplasty so popular?
Eyelid surgery has been very successful for many years, and more and more women are turning to our clinic to correct imperfections in this area. Lower eyelid correction is performed, as well as upper eyelid correction. The main reason for such great interest in eyelid correction is that the skin in this area of the body is very thin and extremely delicate. Therefore, it is easy to irritate or dry out, and it is constantly exposed to harmful factors – sun rays or light from a computer monitor. The aging process of the skin around the eyes is also accelerated by mimic wrinkles. With age, the skin loses its elasticity and ability to deform, so laughter lines can deepen significantly. In addition, the skin around the eyes is most affected by fatigue, sleepless nights, excessive work, and stress. Therefore, the removal of wrinkles, excess skin, or correction of a drooping eyelid are common procedures performed in our clinic.
Most frequently performed procedures
As for the correction of the lower eyelids, the most common reason for plastic surgery is the excess of flabby skin under the eyes, commonly referred to as “bags”. This can be a result of fatigue, age, as well as natural genetic conditions. As for the correction of the upper eyelids, the most common case is the correction of a drooping eyelid, which affects a large part of young people, and with age can grow to such an extent that it impairs vision. In addition, lifting the upper eyelid visually rejuvenates the face.
