Eyelid Surgery - Blepharoplasty in Brooklyn

The eyes are the first thing we notice when we meet someone new. Beautiful eyes can make up for other features that are less than ideal especially when living in Brooklyn. Likewise, eyes that are tired, droopy, or swollen may not reflect a vibrant inner self. It is often said that the earliest signs of aging are around the eyes. You may feel that the eyes looking back at you in the mirror every morning are old and tired looking, or maybe people are always questioning whether or not you had a good night's sleep because your eyes are swollen with bags.

Fortunately, cosmetic procedures in Brooklyn can give you dramatically younger eyes through "eyelid lifts", also known as Eyelid Surgery - Blepharoplasty.

A primary reason for droopy eyes is simply due to age. As everything droops, so do the eyebrows. As the outer parts of the eyebrows droop, the skin of the upper eyelids will look saggy, as if you had developed extra skin that was not there several years before. Trimming this "extra" skin can drastically improve that droopy look.

Another reason for "tired eyes" is because of droopy or migrating eyelid fat. This fat is held back by a thin wall of fibrous tissue called the orbital septum, which sags over time. The fat, held firmly back by this wall in youth can bulge with age, giving you "baggy" upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid Surgery - Blepharoplasty in Brooklyn can help trims this extra fat and tightens the wall, restoring a youthful contour.
