Aging often first becomes noticeable around the eyes, as the delicate skin of the eyelids begins to show signs of wear. Sagging, wrinkles, and puffiness can make you appear tired, sad, or even angry, affecting both your appearance and emotional expression. At pēkomd® in Dayton, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nickolay P. Markov offers upper and lower eyelid surgery to restore a refreshed, alert, and naturally youthful look.
Revitalize Your Eyes with Blepharoplasty
Dr. Markov tailors each eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, to address the specific needs of the patient. Whether you need an upper eyelid lift, a lower eyelid lift, or a combination of both, this procedure can significantly improve your appearance by eliminating wrinkles, correcting droopy eyelids, and removing under-eye bags. In cases where droopy eyelids obstruct vision, blepharoplasty can also enhance your eyesight.
Benefits of Eyelid Surgery
Upper and lower blepharoplasty, or a combined eyelid lift, offers a range of aesthetic and functional benefits:
- Cosmetic Benefits: Upper blepharoplasty removes droopy skin that obscures the natural eyelid crease and eliminates puffiness that contributes to a tired look. Lower blepharoplasty tightens loose skin, smooths out fine lines and wrinkles, and removes under-eye bags for a rejuvenated appearance. The surgery can also correct saggy eyelids that expose the white part of the eye below the iris.
- Functional Benefits: Sagging eyelid skin can impair peripheral vision, which can be corrected with eyelid surgery. Excess upper lid skin can cause irritation and a feeling of heaviness during blinking, which blepharoplasty can alleviate. Additionally, drooping eyelids can cause forehead muscle strain as the excess tissue weighs down the eyes, and eyelid surgery can relieve this discomfort.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Loose, wrinkled, or droopy upper eyelid skin can make your eyes look dull and tired, altering your natural facial expression. Upper eyelid surgery, or upper blepharoplasty, rejuvenates the eye contour by removing excess skin and restoring a youthful look.
Dr. Markov performs this surgery by making a small incision within the natural crease just above the eye. Through this incision, he removes excess tissue, redistributes fat pockets, and repositions underlying muscles to refresh the upper eyelid. If excess upper lid skin obstructs vision, this procedure also allows you to open your eyes fully.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Under-eye bags and puffiness can appear even at a younger age due to herniated fat cells. As skin laxity increases with age, these eye bags become more noticeable, accompanied by fine lines and wrinkles that detract from your overall appearance.
Dr. Markov addresses these issues with lower blepharoplasty. He places an incision along the lower eyelid’s external edge, just under the lower lashes, or sometimes within the lower lids. Through this incision, he redistributes or removes excess fat, tightens loose skin, and adjusts muscles to create a naturally youthful under-eye area.
Who is a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
You might be a good candidate for blepharoplasty if you have:
- Droopy upper eyelids that obscure vision or affect appearance.
- Puffy upper or lower eyelids that give a tired or aged look.
- Under-eye bags and dark circles.
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
