What is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of skin and fat from your upper and lower eyelids. Depending on the reason for surgery, other structures in the upper and lower eyelid can also be corrected or repositioned in case of asymmetry.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

1. Positive Outlook
Many patients who feel that they appear tired, sad, angry, or old are unhappy with their facial features. These negative feelings can be amplified by how they feel about their appearance. Improving your outer appearance can help improve your inner self.

2. Improved Vision
Excess eyelid skin can interfere with your vision. If you've ever had trouble putting on makeup, driving at night, or had one eyelid that seemed to "droop" lower than the other, you know how frustrating it can be. Correction of your upper and lower eyelid can help reduce or eliminate these problems.

3. Enhance Aesthetics
Your face is the first thing that people notice about you. If you're unhappy with the way your eyelids look, this is the first place that others will notice too. Correction of excess skin and fat can boost your confidence and help you feel like a different (and better) version of yourself.

4. Removes Dark Under Eye Circles
If you feel like you never get a good night's sleep because of dark circles under your eyes, visiting Medical Aesthetic Center in New Jersey for blepharoplasty can be right for you.

5. Youthful Eye Shape
Eyelid surgery can restore your eye to a more youthful shape. No more hooded eyes!

6. Reduces Migraines Occurrences
Eye strain can be exacerbated by excess eyelid skin that droops over your eyes and restricts airflow. If this is happening, blepharoplasty can help reduce the frequency of your migraines.

7. Freedom to Wear Makeup
Makeup can accentuate the effects of aging such as hooded eyes, and blepharoplasty can help give you back the freedom to wear makeup. You will be able to apply eye makeup in a way that is easier and more flattering.

Side Effects of Blepharoplasty

1. Scarring
As in the case with most surgeries, there is a risk of scarring, and blepharoplasty is not an exception. Much of this will depend on what type of incision is made during the surgery.

2. Numbness
Incorrect positioning of a nerve during surgery can lead to numbness or paresthesia. This is a temporary condition that will resolve over time.
