Eyelid surgery is the second most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in the United States. Though the decision to have cosmetic surgery is personal, there are many reasons why so many choose to rejuvenate their eyes.
Matthew J. Lynch, MD, in East Windsor, New Jersey, knows that many people consider their eyes one of their best features. However, the visible signs of aging tend to affect the eyes sooner than the rest of the face. This may be one of the reasons it’s one of our most popular cosmetic services.
To restore a more youthful look, eyelid surgery is quick, requires little downtime, and provides dramatic results. These reasons might be why it’s one of our most popular cosmetic services.
Changes in your skin’s strength, elasticity, and moisture cause drooping and sagging that leads to lines, creases, and wrinkles. These visible signs of aging are most noticeable on the face.
However, your eyelids and the skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate than the skin on the rest of your face. As a result, your eyelids may be the first to droop, sag, and wrinkle.
In addition to making you look older than your actual age, your saggy eyelids may not match the rest of your face. Eyelid surgery addresses these age-related changes and rejuvenates your entire face.
It’s not just the skin that changes as you get older. The muscles that support your eyelids also weaken with age. The subcutaneous layer of fat that keeps your skin smooth and taut also diminishes with age.
Without the strength of your skin and muscles, your thinning layer of subcutaneous fat loses its fight against gravity, accumulating in pockets around your face.
These fatty deposits are most noticeable under the thin, delicate skin of your upper and lower eyelids. The shifting fat causes your eyelids to look puffy.
Additionally, the excess fat in your upper eyelids may cause them to droop down over your eyes, affecting vision. This is a condition known as ptosis.
And those puffy bags under your eyes may make you look chronically tired.
Whether for your vision or appearance, eyelid surgery gets rid of the bags and helps your fight against gravity.
