Your eyes say a lot about you, including your age, so you want to keep them looking their best. One reason why eyes make you look older is sagging in the upper and lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty in Chicago is a cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates your eyes, and here is some information about the surgery.
Candidates for Blepharoplasty
The best candidates for blepharoplasty in Chicago are men and women who have loose skin in the upper or lower eyelids. Puffy upper eyelids may also be corrected with eyelid surgery. If you notice that your lower eyelids sag to reveal the soft pink tissue just below the eyeball, you may be a good candidate for blepharoplasty.
Blepharoplasty Procedure
Blepharoplasty is performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or upper and lower. Your plastic surgeon determines if you need surgery on the upper or lower eyelids. For the upper eyelid, an incision is made in the natural crease just above your eyeball. For the lower lid, the incision is made along the lower eyelash line. After making the incision, the surgeon removes any extra skin and fat deposits.
Other Procedures to Consider with Blepharoplasty in Chicago
Blepharoplasty rejuvenates your eyes but does not help with sagging eyebrows or wrinkles in the upper part of your face. If you want to completely rejuvenate your appearance, consider a face lift, Botox®, and dermal fillers.
