Why ageing causes drooping eyelids
As we age, the skin and muscles surrounding the eye weaken. As the skin loses its firmness, excess folds of skin develop on the upper eyelid. At the same time, the sagging muscle allows protruding fat to create bulges around the eyelid.
Loose skin above the eyes causes droopy eyelids, giving a hooded appearance. Not only can this make you look weary, but in extreme cases, it can interfere with vision.
How can an upper eyelid lift help?
An upper blepharoplasty can restore a more youthful appearance to eyes affected by ageing. This surgical procedure is carried out with a local anaesthetic and results in minimal scarring; nevertheless, it makes a significant difference to the eye area.
Our Leeds clients love the way this straightforward procedure restores a fresher appearance to the whole face.
Blepharoplasty eyelid surgery
Upper blepharoplasty surgery involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids.
Our cosmetic surgeon, Mr Sharif Al-Ghazal, will make an incision in the natural crease of the eye. He will remove any protruding fat pads and then trim away excess upper eyelid skin.
The incision will be closed with stitches that will be removed after about a week.
Upper blepharoplasty procedures are performed using a local anaesthetic and take one to two hours.
Recovery time after a blepharoplasty near Leeds
After the surgery, you may experience bruising and swelling for about a week. Many of our clients choose to return to work once these side effects have subsided.
We recommend that you avoid strenuous exercise for one to two weeks to allow your body to heal.
Wearing eye makeup or contact lenses could irritate the eyes, so these are best avoided for a few days.
It is essential to arrange for a lift home after your eyelid surgery, as eyedrops used during the procedure may give you blurred vision for a while, making it dangerous for you to drive.
What will my eyes look like after upper eyelid surgery near Leeds?
Once the bruising and swelling have subsided, you will be delighted with your fresh and wide-eyed appearance.
Your upper lids will be smooth, and any hooded appearance will have disappeared.
The surgical incisions will result in barely visible scarring that will fade further over time.
Are there any risks to an upper eyelid lift near Leeds?
Every surgical procedure carries the risk of swelling and bruising. However, choosing a surgeon of the calibre of the aesthetic surgeons at MySkyn minimises these risks. We also provide excellent aftercare for all our clients to ensure a smooth healing process.
