Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

Your eyes are one of the most prominent features of your face and are what people often look at while speaking to you. Unfortunately, eyelids can droop, sag, and have loose skin from various medical conditions, muscle loss, and simply from age. This can make your eyes appear tired, sad, or disinterested. That’s why eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, exists to make sure the focus stays on your stunning eyes. Let’s explore the different benefits of eyelid surgery.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Appearance Boost

As mentioned before, sagging skin can make your eyes look aged or dull. Thankfully, eyelid surgery corrects this by removing the loose skin and tightening the surrounding area. This brings the focus back to your dazzling eyes while making the skin surrounding your eyes appear youthful and full of life. This has the added benefit of being a confidence booster. Eyelid surgery can get you photo-ready in no time.

Restore Functionality

Eyelid surgery can also be done to restore functionality in two different situations. Drooping skin can eventually impede your vision if the loose skin is severe. Removal of that skin and tightening of the surrounding skin can restore that vision. Some people have weakened eyelid muscles even at a young age and require blepharoplasty to restore function. Without eyelid surgery, these people can have difficulty seeing out of their affected eye.

Easier Makeup Application

While this isn’t something that most people think of when eyelid surgery comes to mind, makeup application becomes significantly easier after surgery. Loose and sagging skin makes it difficult to apply makeup in a smooth or appealing way. It can be frustrating dealing with a bumpy and uneven surface when putting on makeup. Eyelid surgery smooths out the skin and tightens it. This makes it significantly easier to get your makeup just right.
