Rejuvenate Your Look: Understanding Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty
Are drooping eyelids or under-eye bags making you look more tired and aged than you feel? At BE Aesthetics, we understand how these concerns can affect both your appearance and confidence. Our expert team specializes in blepharoplasty, a transformative surgical procedure that can help restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance to your eyes. Dr. Jennifer Burgoyne always says, “Bags are for traveling, not your eyes!”.
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that can address both functional and aesthetic concerns around the eyes. This surgical intervention can be performed on either the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your specific needs and goals.
Understanding Upper Blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty focuses on rejuvenating the upper eyelid area by removing excess skin and fat that can create a heavy, hooded appearance. This procedure can:
Eliminate drooping skin that may interfere with vision
Create a more defined upper eyelid crease
Reduce puffiness in the upper eyelid area
Restore a more alert and youthful appearance
The procedure involves carefully placed incisions within the natural crease of the upper eyelid, ensuring any resulting scars are virtually invisible once healed.
Lower Blepharoplasty: Addressing Under-Eye Concerns
Lower blepharoplasty targets the area beneath the eyes to address:
Under-eye bags and puffiness
Excess skin creating fine wrinkles
Deep tear troughs
Fat deposits causing a tired appearance
Our surgeons typically make incisions just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid, allowing them to redistribute or remove excess fat and tissue while tightening the surrounding skin.
