Most of us feel young, active, and not hampered by the chronological number that defines our age. It can be difficult however to feel our age when we have droopy eyelids or bags under our eyes. Although many skin care products claim they can undo visible cosmetic flaws, most wrinkling is impossible to correct without professional intervention. When the skin layers on your eye region start to lose firmness and elasticity, it ultimately results in loose skin layers. Dropping layers of your skin becomes obvious and that is when you see unsightly skin folds gradually appearing on your eye region. This redundancy of skin may cause a feeling of heaviness and sometimes headache.

Eyelid Surgery Overview

The technical term for sagging eyelids is blepharochalasia which refers to excess eyelid skin and weak eyelid muscles. The protruding fat patches beneath your dermal layers also characterize blepharochalasia.  Since weakened muscles cause droopy eyelids, as soon as this region starts to sag, fat deposits can move in and trigger more harm that may ultimately impede your vision as additional skin hangs down.  Eyelid surgery is a superb method to enhance the look of your upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery is also efficient at eliminating the bags under your eyes, which can make you appear tired and look older than you truly are. However in more advanced cases a Cheeklift may need to be added to lower gelid surgery to improve the area between your eyelid and sunken cheeks.
