Eyelid aesthetics or blepharoplasty is a set of surgical procedures performed by a plastic surgeon to remove sagging skin and excess muscle tissue and to tighten the tissues around the eyes, applied to the lower and upper eyelids. With the advancement of age, sagging of the skin naturally occurs due to the effect of gravity. Parallel to this process, findings such as bagging on the eyelids, loosening of the skin, discoloration, relaxation, and wrinkles occur. Factors such as exposure to sun rays, air pollution, irregular sleep, excessive smoking and alcohol use accelerate the aging process of the skin.
What are the Symptoms of Eyelid Aging?
The skin is normally elastic. But as you age, its elasticity gradually decreases. As a result of the loss of elasticity in the facial skin, the excess skin is first collected on the eyelids. Therefore, the first signs of aging appear on the eyelids. Age-related changes in the eyelids cause a tired, dull and old appearance in the person. Some of the signs of aging seen on the lower and upper eyelids;
- Under-eye bags and discoloration
- Drooping upper eyelid
- Wrinkles and sagging of the eyelid skin
- Crow's feet lines around the eyes
- A tired facial expression
At what age is Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty) performed?
Eyelid aesthetics are mostly performed by individuals over the age of 35. Because the signs of aging on the eyelids often begin to appear after these ages. However, it is possible for anyone with a medical need to have it done at any age. Surgery cannot stop the ongoing aging of the eyelids; but it lasts for 7-8 years. After the surgery, the tired facial expression of the person leaves its place to a lively and serene appearance.
