Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Lid surgery, lidsurgery, known also as eyelidsurgery eyelid surgery or eye lid surgery, involves surgery to the eyelid, or eyelids, eye lid or eye lids. It can be known as a bleph or blepharoplasty. If you have more than one lid or eyelid, then it is known as blephs or blepharoplasties, and then
it is eyelidsurgeries or eyelid surgeries or eye lid surgeries.

Normal ageing is usually first noticeable by changes in facial skin, downward shifting of the brow, and fullness of the eyelid skin.

This fullness leads to wrinkling and sagging of the eyelid (commonly called “bagginess”) which may become apparent under the lower eyelids and at the inner corners of the upper eyelids. The tendency for this to occur may be hereditary, and may become evident from an early age. More often, however, the fullness is developmental, and appears in the mid thirties, becoming even more marked in later years. Once the tendency for this to occur is apparent, the condition will progressively worsen.
The skin around the eyelid may become so stretched, as to impair sight. Once this has occurred, repair is much more difficult and the results may not be as good as with cases of earlier intervention. The rule of thumb with eyelid surgery is: the earlier the better! That is, as soon as any of the above conditions become evident, it is the time to take corrective action, in order to ensure optimum results.
