Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or eyelid lift surgery, is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the eyelids. Eyelid Lift Surgery can rejuvenate puffy, sagging, drooping, or tired-looking eyes by tightening muscles and tissue or removing excess fat and skin from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The skin of the eyelids is much thinner than other parts of the face, and this is why it is often one of the first facial areas to exhibit signs of aging. Blepharoplasty is one of the easiest ways of rejuvenating the facial area, especially around the eyes.

Blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed facial plastic surgery procedures. The popularity of this procedure reflects the importance of the eyes as a central feature of the face and in perfecting overall appearance. Dr. Pari Shams is an expert in eyelid lift surgical procedures and provides personal care for patients at several locations in Greater London. Blepharoplasty tightens the eyelid’s muscles and tissues and removes excess fat and skin.

Eyelid Lift Surgery is a procedure that is performed quite often for cosmetic reasons. The thin eyelid skin is prone to aging faster, accelerated by heredity factors, skin type, sun damage, smoking, and diet. Blepharoplasty may become necessary when these factors cause the muscles and tissue that support the eyelids to weaken allowing the eyelid fat to herniate forwards. These changes can create a heavy feeling over the eyes, making you look tired and older.

“If the appearance of the eyes causes a patient to be unhappy, the patient may want to consider eyelid blepharoplasty to improve their look and boost their confidence. A lower eyelid blepharoplasty is used to treat under-eye bags, drooping lower eyelids, excess skin, fine wrinkles, and circles under the eye,” says Pari Shams, Consultant Oculoplastic Surgeon. “This procedure can be performed on adult men and women alike and can achieve a younger, more refreshed look with more defined eyes and rejuvenated eyes.”

Blepharoplasty can be performed on either the upper or lower eyelid, or both, for cosmetic purposes. For a lower eyelid that needs fat rather than skin removed, a transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a preferred approach. During this procedure, an incision is made inside the lower eyelid, so there are no visible scars, and the fat is removed. This procedure does not improve vision but achieves a younger and more refreshed appearance. Bringing old photographs with you to the consultation can be helpful in planning your surgery. It is important for a patient to have realistic expectations before undergoing cosmetic blepharoplasty. Although the procedure can enhance appearance and improve self-confidence, it does not radically alter the face.
