As you age, your muscles become loose and lose their elasticity, especially in your facial area. This can reduce your aesthetic appearance and self-confidence in particular when it affects your eyelids.

Many individuals in London struggle with tired facial expression, crow’s feet lines, sagging and wrinkles of the eyelid skin, drooping of the eyelid, discolouration, and bagging under the eyes. However, this is not the end of the world, since there are treatments available that can help you to look younger and improve your vision.

Blepharoplasty surgery, also known as eyelid reduction, is a surgical procedure to restructure the eyelids. A lower-eyelid reduction can lessen the signs of puffiness and wrinkles, whilst an upper-eyelid reduction can enhance your aesthetic appearance and vision.

As mentioned earlier, when you grow older your skin will lose its elasticity and your facial muscles will become weak. As a result, the creases in the lower eyelid area will deepen and folds can appear in the upper lids. Moreover, when the muscles that are situated beneath your skin weaken, it dislocates the fat, that ...
... cushions your eyes, to shift forward, giving the appearance of bagginess.

Bagginess, creases, and folds often look unsightly in the morning, especially after a period of lack of sleep or stress. The reason for this is that fluid that is generally dispersed throughout your body when it is upright, tends to remain in parts where the skin is loose, particularly in the area of the eyes.

The ageing process can also bring about excess skin to accumulate in the area of the upper eyelids as well as drooping of the eyelid. Most of the time there is too much additional skin that it can cause the upper lids to droop over the eyelashes.

In the London area, blepharoplasty surgery can be performed by a reconstructive and cosmetic eyelid surgeon either under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic and sedation. During this procedure, the surgeon will make an incision to remove excess skin, additional fat, and sagging muscle. In general, these cuts are not visible after the healing process is completed.

In some cases, a sagging eyebrow and forehead can give the appearance that your eyelids are sagging. Your specialist can recommend an eyelid reduction, or an eyebrow lift, or even both.

If you have saggy skin or wrinkles on other areas of your neck and face, your specialist will advise you to have a neck lift, facelift or both while doing the eyelid reconstruction. A facelift can be performed to lift the upper eyelid and the eyebrow area, but also to open and lift and the outer corner of the eye.

Even though blepharoplasty surgery is an effective treatment to lessen eyelid sagging there are alternative non-surgical interventions available as well. Laser treatment, also known as laser resurfacing, can reduce wrinkles too. Although this treatment is not a permanent fix, many individuals in London opt for this alternative solution.

If you reside in London and plan to have blepharoplasty surgery, it is recommended to consult with a reputable and trustworthy reconstructive and cosmetic eyelid surgeon with a good record of accomplishment.

Make sure the specialist has the proper qualifications and registered with the General Medical Council.
With the assistance of a reputable surgeon in London, you will have peace of mind that the outcome of your treatment will not only deliver an aesthetic outcome, but they will also advise you on the best available treatment and customise this to your personal needs and preferences.
