How is excessive wrinkling and bagginess of the eyelids corrected?
The operation known as blepharoplasty is used to correct these conditions. The tendency to wrinkling, particularly to have visible fullness or bags, may be inherited and may appear quite early. The excess skin is removed and the resulting incisions are so placed as to be quite inconspicuous. Ordinarily, the scars of a blepharoplasty are quite fine and near the hairline. As always, there are variations from individual to individual. The bags represent fat from the orbit bulging forward into the lids. These are corrected at the same time the skin is tightened. As in all aesthetic procedures in the facial area, there is a degree of swelling and ecchymosis (bruising, or black and blue), which persists for a varying length of time after surgery. Heavy lines or wrinkles under the eyes will usually be improved by a blepharoplasty, but wrinkles cannot be erased. Wrinkling and bagginess may be corrected independently of a face-lift or at the same time.
Eyelid surgery can correct this condition. Excessive skin and fat may be removed from both upper and lower eyelids. Tightening of the lower lid may also be done in concurrence with this procedure. One to two weeks of bruising and swelling is expected from this procedure. Eyelid surgery may be done in combination with or separate from face lifts or other types of aesthetic surgeries of the face such as brow lifts to better proportion your facial features.
