The skin around the eyes, being extremely thin, is often the first part of the body to sag and show signs of aging. People tend to look sad or tired when the muscles and skin around the eyes begin to weaken. The fatty pockets naturally present underneath also grows and become more visible.
Blepharoplasty, also called eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and pockets of fat to improve the appearance of the eyes. This operation also treats medical conditions that may impair or prevent a patient’s vision. This procedure on website can be applied to the upper or lower eyelids depending on the complaints and desires of each patient. Correcting the upper and lower eyelids separately or during the same procedure is possible.
Improved Visual Field
With age, sagging skin on the upper eyelids can “overflow” onto the edge of the eyelid. In some advanced cases, this can cause a decrease in the field of vision. You may feel weak when performing daily activities, such as driving, reading, or using a computer. Your sight will improve by resecting excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid. In these specific cases, it is even possible that your insurance will cover the intervention.
The Disappearance Of Drooping Or Wrinkled Eyelids
Since our eyes are in constant motion and our skin is twice as thin, the eyes’ aging process is much faster than that of other parts of the face. The skin around the eyes tends to sag and sag, giving a dull, tired, and weary look. Many patients are bothered by the feeling that the tiredness and weariness conveyed by their faces do not match how they feel inside. This difference can be very troublesome, and blepharoplasty can be considered.
Eliminate Dark Circles And Bags Under The Eyes
Although dark circles and bags under the eyes are not a medical problem, they can make you look older and also help to make you look constantly tired.
Three factors can cause dark circles:
- loss of volume of the bony and soft tissues of the cheek under the eye
- excess eyelid fat that is often bulging
- sagging eyelid skin
In some early and moderate cases, dark circles can be corrected or improved by hyaluronic acid injections. However, this technique has limits; from a certain stage, only surgical correction can produce the desired results. Blepharoplasty can be performed on the lower eyelids to remove or reposition fat and tighten the skin, making dark circles disappear. Bear in mind that Dr. Ahmad performs a multitude of cosmetic procedures.
Reduced Skin Irritation

After the skin has fully healed, patients can feel great relief when they blink their eyes.
