You have probably given plenty of thought to the way that wrinkles are changing the appearance of your skin, but have you ever contemplated the role that your eyelids play on your face? It is very common for the eyelids to droop with age and make you look much older and fatigued than you are. Fortunately, cosmetic eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a minor procedure that can have a major positive impact on the appearance of your face.
Age Causes Unwanted Eyelid Droopiness
It’s nearly unavoidable for the skin to lose its firmness as you age. Your body produces less and less collagen and elastin each year after the age of 30. Since collagen and elastin are the two most important components of healthy skin, their growing absence leaves the skin with no choice but to become stretched and weak.
This causes the eyelids to stretch, and the muscles supporting them become weaker. Stores of fat create a saggy, droopy appearance to your eyelids that once used to look effortlessly perky. In addition to affecting your upper lids and bags under your eyes, droopy eyelids also limit your field of vision.
Blepharoplasty Restores Youthfulness To Your Face
If you have developed baggy and droopy upper eyelids or excess eyelid skin that interferes with your vision, blepharoplasty can repair that damage and help you look years younger. The procedure is very simple and lasts less than two hours. After just a few days of healing you will be able to look in the mirror to see a vibrant and rejuvenated face no longer defined by drooping eyelids.
