Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in America. This procedure is great for aging skin and accumulating fat deposits in your upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can take years off of your appearance by removing excess skin and tissue and tightening the skin. This procedure can also help men and women who have vision difficulty due to sagging skin.
Our cosmetic surgeon in Philadelphia offers eyelid surgery, which can be done in conjunction with a browlift and facelift to make your overall face appear years younger.
You could be the perfect candidate for eyelid surgery if you have any of these eyelid issues:
- Under eye bags
- Puffiness in your upper and/or lower eyelids
- You often appear groggy or tired
- Vision impairment from excess skin and fat tissue
There are some medical and optical conditions that may exclude you from having eyelid surgery such as:
- Glaucoma
- Dry eye
- Previous LASIK eye surgery
- Diabetes
- Cardiovascular disease
- High blood pressure
- Hyperthyroidism
These conditions don’t always limit your cosmetic surgery options. The best way to know if you’re a candidate for eyelid surgery is during your initial consultation with Dr. Bottger.
