Also known as blepharoplasty, an eyelid lift offers a variety of functional and aesthetic benefits to the upper and lower eyelids. Depending on your specific needs and goals, the procedure may involve raising your brows, removing excess skin and fat, or tightening the muscles that open your eyelids.
Whether you are interested in a subtle refresh or significant changes, our plastic surgeon and the team at Murthy Facial Plastic Surgery are here to support you through every step of your personalized procedure. If you are still wondering, “How do you know if you need an eyelid lift?”, read our guide below. If any of the following factors apply to you, you may benefit from eyelid lift surgery.
Vision problems can arise for a variety of reasons, including drooping upper eyelids. When your eyelids droop, they can limit your peripheral vision, making it difficult to drive, read, or see well at night. An upper eyelid lift can raise them, helping to restore your sight.
Another sign that you may benefit from an eyelid lift is that you look tired despite not feeling that way. Drooping eyelids, puffiness, and wrinkles under your eyes can make you appear fatigued. An upper eyelid lift to correct drooping and a lower eyelid lift to reduce wrinkles and puffiness could rejuvenate your appearance.
In addition to causing your eyelids to droop, gravity can also make your eyelid crease disappear, which may make it difficult to apply eyelid makeup. If you have noticed your eyelid crease disappearing, an upper eyelid lift could help restore it.
When extra skin hangs over your eyelashes, your brain registers a visual obstruction and solves that problem by raising your eyebrows. When you keep your eyebrows raised constantly, you create deep wrinkles in your forehead over time, and the frontalis muscle becomes strained. This strain can lead to chronic headaches and migraines.
If you are experiencing any of the above concerns, an eyelid lift could help you look and feel your best. Because every person is unique, we tailor the procedure to meet your specific goals and preferences. If you are still unsure about whether you need an eyelid lift, our team is here to help.
