Upper Eyelid Aesthetics

If the upper eyelid has sagging or bags, the possibility of predicting our age is quite high. When looking at our face, our eye region is the first place to show our age. Therefore, there is a need for upper eyelid surgery.

The sagging or bags of the upper eyelid leads to a decrease in our visual field. Ladies complain that they lift their eyebrows while wearing eye shadow and there is a decrease in the eyelid area for eye shadow. Another reason for the need for upper eyelid aesthetics is that you have a tired expression when you get up in the morning.

Major causes of bags of the upper eyelid include sleep disorder, smoking, and genetic factors.

Upper eyelid surgery is an operation that lasts for 45-70 minutes with the local anaesthesia. During the operation, it is aimed to gain a more youthful appearance by removing the excess skin tissue and fat pads that cause bags under eyes and sagging in the upper eyelid.

After the upper eyelid aesthetic surgery, you have oedema and tiny bruises for about 7 days. However, these oedema and bruises are very mild and hence do not affect your daily life. You can go back to your normal life immediately after eyelid surgery.
