It is common for individuals to first notice the effects of aging after being continuously outdoors in areas where smog or other caustic substances could be in the air. This can cause the surrounding eye region to become dry, puffy, itchy and reddened. Over time, the eyelids can become loose and saggy. Learn how undergoing a simple outpatient blepharoplasty in Glenview can change your overall facial appearance for the better.
How a Blepharoplasty Is Performed
A blepharoplasty is the medical term for eyelid surgery that tightens up the loose eyelid folds through surgical techniques that remove the excess skin and leaves a tighter skin area around the eyes. This should only be completed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in this type of procedure. This is generally done under outpatient surgery using a general anesthesia.
Blepharoplasty Can Be Done on Upper, Lower or Both Eyelids
Not every patient will have the same eyelid problems as others. Sometimes, having either the upper or lower eyelids fixed during this cosmetic surgery can fix the problem. At other times, both eyelids should be done to get the best outcome and end result. Always consult with a plastic surgeon before making up your mind. Some eyelid problems are simple to resolve with healthier lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, drinking more water and avoiding caffeine and alcoholic beverage that tend to drain moisture from the skin.
