Eyelid Repair

Indications - Eyelid Repair |
|
|
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is performed to correct
"puffy bags" below the eyes or drooping upper lids, which
can interfere with your vision, or make you look older and
tired. It is sometimes performed alone, or with other facial
surgeries such as browlifts or facelifts. Eyelid surgery
does not remove wrinkles around the eyes, lift sagging eyebrows,
or eliminate dark circles under the eyes. Medical conditions
that make eyelid repair more risky are: thyroid problems
(such as hypothyroidism and Graves' disease) dry eye or
lack of sufficient tears high blood pressure or other circulatory
disorders heart disease or disorders of the blood vessels,
diabetes retinal detachment glaucoma.
