Eyelid correction (Blepharoplasty) is a plastic surgery procedure that removes excess skin and fat bags on the eyelids. It is natural that our skin loses elasticity with age, and regarding eyelid skin, this can be a genetic problem, but visibly sagging skin on the eyelids is mainly caused by advancing age and natural skin aging. The reason for surgery is primarily aesthetic, but in some cases also medical. This type of procedure is mainly requested by women in the age category from 25 to 70 years. However, if you are afraid of losing your charming look with advancing age, you can rely on plastic surgery and the hands of an experienced surgeon. Only a single consultation at the clinic separates you from the procedure.
The skin of the upper eyelid is the thinnest on the body, so it is very important to mark the part to be removed with millimeter precision before the procedure. During the procedure, excess skin is removed along with the weakened muscle and possibly fat that cause this unwanted effect.
The ideal shape of the lower eyelid is an S-shape, which must also be maintained after the procedure. The small operation is completed with a few stitches.
