The delicate skin on the upper and lower eyelids is susceptible to wrinkles, lines and sagging. As you get older, loose skin on either eyelid can make you look old and tired, regardless of how you feel. To combat undereye bags and droopy upper eyelids, HMS Plastic Surgery offers blepharoplasty, eyelid lift surgery, to restore the form and function of your aging eyes.
Upper Eyelid Lift Surgery
It is very common for the upper eyelid skin to become loose and saggy as you get older. While some people can have excessive upper eyelid skin due to genetics, age is the biggest factor in changing the elasticity of the skin. Droopy upper eyelid skin can make the eyes look older, smaller and tired, but appearance is not the only concern. The wrinkled skin can make it difficult to wear makeup, and in some cases, it can interfere with vision if it droops over the eyelid.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is used to remove excess skin or fatty tissue, tightening it and lifting to achieve a more youthful and functional eyelid. The incision can be placed along the crease or eyelash line, which can make it blend with the eyelid form.
Lower Eyelid Lift Surgery
If you have puffy bags, crow’s feet or sagging wrinkles around your lower eyelid, blepharoplasty can rejuvenate your eyes for a more youthful, energetic appearance. The sagging tissue and excess skin can be removed through a small incision inside the eye, smoothing wrinkles and firming the undereye area.
Many of our patients desire both an upper and lower blepharoplasty to refresh the eye appearance. Dr. Harry Salinas is a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience completing delicate and complex plastic and reconstructive surgery. His attention to detail and restoring beautiful form and function can give you the rejuvenated eye appearance you desire.
If your eyes are showing the signs of age, give them a refreshed appearance with blepharoplasty. To learn more about eyelid lift surgery, contact our team at HMS Plastic Surgery. Call our Miami, FL, plastic surgery center to schedule your blepharoplasty consultation with Dr. Salinas.
