The eyes play a major role in our first impression. As we age, the skin of the upper eyelids becomes more saggy and drooping. This is a natural process that everyone will experience at some point in their lives. Drooping eyelids can give a tired and aged look. In extreme cases, they can even cause vision impairment as well. Through an upper eyelid surgery, the excess skin is removed to restore the eyes to their open and fresh appearance.
Three types of tissues are involved in an upper eyelid correction: the skin, muscle tissue and fatty tissue of the eyelids. Some cases involve only excess skin and no involvement of muscle or fat tissue. Other cases involve excess skin and sagging eyelid muscle. In these cases, the excess skin is removed and the sagging muscle is lifted back to its natural position.
Lastly, one can also have excess skin, with involvement of both muscle and fat tissue of the eyelids. In this case, the natural fatty tissue around the eyes has sagged and accumulated in the sagging skin. This often contributes to an additional drooping effect. In these cases, the excess skin is removed along with the fatty tissue and the eyelid muscle is also lifted to its natural position.
During a no-obligation consultation with our surgeon Dr. Vinay Balesar, we will determine your indication for an upper eyelid correction.
