Blepharoplasty, or Eyelid Lift, or Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery, is one of the top three cosmetic surgery procedures performed in Beverly Hills. Between 1997 and 2002, the number of patients undergoing Blepharoplasty increased by 44 percent because it is so effective. In 2005 alone, 231,000 patients underwent procedures to tighten drooping skin on their upper eyelids, remove the puffiness, or “bags” below their eyes – or both. Because the skin of the eyelids is so thin and delicate, the eyelids tend to droop before the rest of the face. In Beverly Hills Blepharoplasty surpasses facelifts, rhinoplasty (“nose jobs”), and forehead and brow lifts as a commonly performed procedure for “freshening up” a fatigued looking face.
Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty can be both aesthetic, and functional. Sometimes, eyes are damaged by trauma, infection, inflammation, degeneration or by developmental deficiencies. Blepharoplasty can help the eye to be functionally normal. It also serves a cosmetic purpose, restoring and rejuvenating the appearance of the eyes for a more youthful and alert appearance.
Many men who would not otherwise consider cosmetic surgery do undergo Eyelid Surgery in Los Angeles. In some cases, they feel it is a necessity to remain competitive in today’s challenging, and increasingly youth-oriented, workplaces. Also, many people will undergo Eyelid Surgery as a way to freshen their appearance while they delay having a Full Facelift.
