Blepharoplasty
is the eyelid surgery to create a double lid fold or to
correct the baggy or sagging tissues around the eyes.
The purpose is to have more beautiful and youthful appearance
as well as better lid function. Excess skin, muscle, or
fat will need to be removed to achieve these aims.
Causes
Over time, the upper and lower eyelids may become
droopy or baggy because of stretching of the skin, weakening
of the muscles, and bulging of fat pockets around the
eyes. These condition occur not only double lid fold but
also single lid fold, mostly in Asia. Furthermore, the
eyebrows may occur in the same way as well.
Symptoms
People who have a single lid fold are not satisfied
with their looking because it makes them not look beautiful
as they need. Eye bag also affects your appearance, especially
facial attractiveness because it makes you look older.
In some severe cases, it might even lead to impaired vision.
Treatment
Incisions are made along the upper lid of the
single fold or the natural folds of the drooping skin,
so that they are unnoticeable when they heal. |

A mild discomfort resulting from swelling,
bruising, or tightness may occur after the surgery. However,
these signs will alleviate when the wounds heal. Saint
Peter Eye Hospital uses laser surgery to do these cosmetic
surgeries; hence, it decreases bleeding swelling, bruising
and rapid recovery time.
