Many women and men have suffered for years over the appearance of dark circles, heavy bags and drooping skin around their eyes. But with a blepharoplasty surgery there is hope for more fresh, youthful and healthy-looking face and eyes. There are more than one methods of achieving this very attainable goal and it largely depends on where the problem areas lie in each patient’s case.
Lower-Lid Blepharoplasty
Among the most common complaints that many patients bring to our practice of plastic surgery in Omaha is having puffy bags and/or dark patches or circles underneath the eyes. Puffiness is caused by the presence of too much fat below the eye; whereas dark circles are the result of there being too little fat in the same area. An incision will be made by your surgeon on either the inside or outside of the lid to adjust the amount of fat accordingly, waking up your eyes as a result.
Upper-Lid Blepharoplasty
For patients that complain of droopiness in their upper lids causing skin to sag over the eyes will most likely benefit from upper-eyelid surgery. The procedure involves the removal of skin that hangs over the eyelid as well as any fat that has accumulated in the area. Since eyelid skin can sag as a result of either a drooping eyebrow or eyelid, a consultation with your surgeon is essential for him or her to determine the source of problem prior to treatment.
