Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery.
It is said that " the eyes are the window to your soul", and this is probably because the eyes are central to your facial expressions, and features, hence they can't be hidden.
With aging, the drooping of eyelids, or bagginess will elicit an overall aging effect on the face, since the eyes contribute to so much of the overall appearance of the face.
Anti-wrinkle injections and fillers can only do so much and eventually surgical options must be entertained.
So eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is the name of this procedure, and its been performed for around seventy years. Over the last ten years it has been refined, and now the results are more natural and subtle.
Unlike the harsh and pulled eyes of aging movie stars, at FRESH Clinic Dr Young performs, blepharoplasties with subtle and natural results.
So what does blepharoplasty entail? With local anasethetic, and sometimes oral sedation, a small amount of skin and fat is excised, and then when all bleeding points are precisely cauterised, the skin is sutured together.
Recovery is over ten days, with suture removal at around 5 days.
Swelling and bruising is not uncommon, but is usually minimal.
For assessment and and pricing you will need a full consultation.
So if you think, that you need a little "brightening" up of your face and eyes, then make an appointment to see Dr Young at the nearest FRESHface Clinic.
