Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, is a minimally invasive treatment that involves repairing drooping eyelids. The procedure involves your surgeon removing excess skin and fat to improve your eyelids. You can consider eyelid surgery for cosmetic or medical reasons like poor vision and headaches. Scarsdale eyelid surgery can be done on one or both of your eyelids. You will require two separate operations to repair your upper and lower eyelids. There are many benefits of eyelid surgery and below are some.

It reduces eyebags
Eyelid surgery removes excess fat pockets in your eyelids that lead to under-eye bags. Most people associate eyebags with insufficient sleep, allergies, or fatigue, but these might not be the causes. Under-eye bags can be caused by lower eyelid fat prolapse. Eyelid surgery improves your eyebags by eliminating, repositioning, and sculpturing the orbital fat. After the removal, the skin may sag, so your specialist tightens it during the procedure.
It improves your vision
Excess skin in your upper eyelids can drape over your eyelashes, causing poor vision. The sagging can result from genetic factors, age, sun exposure, or poor lifestyle habits. Your doctor can recommend eyelid surgery if you tip your head to get a clear view of things. Sagging upper eyelids can cause vision problems and other medical issues. During eyelid surgery, your specialist tightens the skin and muscles of your upper eyelid, improving your vision.
It improves the appearance and shape of your eyes
Eyelid surgery reduces skin and excess fat from your eyelids and reshapes the surrounding areas. The treatment improves the shape of your eyes, giving you a youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Your surgeon may combine eyelid surgery with other facial treatments, such as fat grafting and dermal fillers, improving your eyes and facial look.
It reduces forehead wrinkles
Excess skin on your eyelids may weigh them down, altering your vision. You may frequently raise your eyebrows to improve vision, forming deep furrows in your forehead. The excess skin can lead to the development of forehead wrinkles. Eyelid surgery removes the excess skin, reducing your forehead wrinkles and fine lines, and promoting a smoother facial appearance.
It eliminates dark circles
The loss of bony and soft tissue volume of the cheek under your eye can cause dark circles under your eyes. They can also result from excess eyelid fat that bulges and the shrinkage of pigmented skin. Eyelid surgery eliminates excess skin, sculpts fat, redistributes excess fat, and replaces the volume of lost bony and soft tissue, removing dark circles.
Minimal scarring and recovery time
Eyelid surgery is a minimally invasive procedure involving tiny eyelid incisions. Your surgeon makes small cuts that hide behind the natural folds of your eyelids. After the recovery, the incisions are unnoticeable. The small incisions heal quickly, shortening the recovery period by about one week. There are modern techniques for eyelid surgery, like laser blepharoplasty, that promote quick healing with minimal or no scarring.
