What makes natural eyelid surgery natural is the way people look and feel after it. Our eyes are among our most expressive features, and so staying true to form is the result most people would like to see.<\/p>\n

In fact, change is what brings most people to consider natural eyelid surgery<\/a>, often as soon as in a person\u2019s early 30s or even late 20s. Sagging, heaviness, or puffiness can show up prematurely because the tissue around the eyes is so tender. As such, blepharoplasty, as it is called officially, is one of the most-requested plastic surgery procedures.<\/p>\n

The Cause is Part of the Solution<\/h3>\n

Fortunately, the same factors that cause eyelids to age quickly make them very receptive to the techniques of natural eyelid surgery. The thin skin of the eyelid accepts shape readily. The excellent blood supply supports rapid healing. And the natural folds of the eyelids offer opportunities to make incisions invisible.<\/p>\n

Upper, or Lower, or Both?<\/h3>\n

The roles of the upper and lower eyelids are different, and so the ways they age and the issues they present<\/a> are different, too.<\/p>\n

Upper eyelids can sag and, in some cases, narrow a person\u2019s field of vision. This is the effect that brings so many men to consider natural eyelid surgery, but the same effect is seen in women, too. Excess skin and fat can accumulate with age and blepharoplasty removes this and restores smoothness and openness using fine sutures and incisions placed in natural folds that become unnoticeable.<\/p>\n

Blepharoplasty alone cannot relieve a heavily overhanging brow \u2013 or \u201ccrow\u2019s feet.\u201d So often, natural eyelid surgery is conducted in concert with one or more other procedures to achieve a person\u2019s overall goals.<\/p>\n

Lower lids, in many cases, collect excess fat and sagging skin that can be removed with natural eyelid surgery. Each patient\u2019s needs are different, but the surgeon\u2019s options include placing the incision where the work will remain virtually unnoticeable.<\/p>\n

What You Can Expect<\/h3>\n

In the hands of an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, most people who are in generally good health and have reasonable expectations for the procedure can be candidates for natural eyelid surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis using twilight or general anesthesia. Some results are apparent immediately, and any post-procedure swelling is resolved in a week to 10 days for most people. So, downtime is limited \u2013 especially for people who don\u2019t mind sunglasses.<\/p>\n

Your first conversation with a plastic surgeon will tell you a lot. Choose one who is board certified in facial plastic surgery and thoroughly experienced, not only in this procedure, but also in the full range of facial plastic surgery, because natural eyelid surgery takes place within the setting of the face as a whole. Balance, symmetry, and the look of \u201cbelonging\u201d are important elements in achieving a natural result, so blepharoplasty should not be considered in isolation.<\/p>\n
