WHAT IS COSMETIC BLEPHAROPLASTY?

If you are considering eyelid surgery Reston, you may be wondering: What is cosmetic blepharoplasty?

Cosmetic blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, is a plastic surgery procedure that addresses skin, muscle, and fat irregularities in order to rejuvenate the eye area and produce a more refreshed, rested, and youthful appearance.

The procedure may also be performed to correct deficits involving the tear system, orbit, and overall facial structure.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF COSMETIC BLEPHAROPLASTY?

In addition to wondering – What is cosmetic blepharoplasty? – you may also be curious which surgical approach is right for you.

There are several different cosmetic blepharoplasty techniques to consider, including upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and double eyelid blepharoplasty.

Upper Eyelid Surgery is an outpatient procedure that removes excess fat and skin from the upper eyelids. In doing so, this type of cosmetic eyelid surgery can correct hooding, droopy lids, and vision impairments and help women and men look more alert, energetic, and vivacious.

Lower Eyelid Surgery is removes and repositions fat and eliminates excess skin on the lower eyelids. Incisions are made on the inside or outside of the eyelid to avoid noticeable scars. This type of cosmetic blepharoplasty is often recommended to treat under eye bags, bulging fat, crepey skin, and dark circles.

Double-Eyelid Surgery is another type of cosmetic eyelid surgery that is designed to divide the upper eyelid into two sections and create a crease in the lid. It can also address heavy eyelids that interfere with vision.
