Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Age, sun exposure and hereditary factors all contribute to wrinkles, deep lines and puffiness around the eyes. Blepharoplasty can improve the appearance of baggy eyelids and puffiness by tightening excess skin and repositioning and removing excess fat. An eyelid lift or blepharoplasty performed by an experienced surgeon, is designed to restore a more youthful appearance to your eyes. It may involve the upper lids, the lower lids, or both.
Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery also known as eye lift, has gone through a significant transformation over the past few years. Traditionally, eyelid surgery involves the removal of significant fat, skin and muscle in order to obtain what is perceived as “youthful” eyes. This approach can result in hollowness of the eye area and a “cat-like” look of the corner of the eyes that looks unnatural and changes the entire appearance of the person. Also, complications were more common with these types of procedures. In Today's contemporary cosmetic surgery, we know that the aging changes around the eyes do not just involve sagging skin. It has multiple components such as loss of skin elasticity, drooping of the eyebrows and cheek fat pads and weakness of supporting eyelid structures that lead to puffiness under the eyes. In the evaluation of aging eyes the forehead and mid face also need to be thoroughly evaluated. Call our Rancho Santa Margarita Office at Phone Number 949-888-0332 with any questions about Eyelid Surgery. Through a better understanding of eyelid anatomy, facial analysis and aging changes, Dr. Bolourian utilizes a very different approach to eyelid correction. His approach can include the use of fillers/injectables (Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane), laser skin resurfacing, conservative surgical eyelid contouring (Blepharoplasty), fat grafting, endoscopic brow and/or mid-face lift to create the most natural and long-standing results. With this method each individual receives a personalized approach to their eyelid correction. The results are natural and involve minimal risks, complications or down-time. |
