Aging is natural process for all of us, but when it causes you look older than you actually are procedures such as eyelid surgery can provide the ideal results. Eyelid surgery is also known as elective blepharoplasty and it works to remove the sagginess and tired look from the eyelids. These common signs of aging often begin when patients are in their thirties and forties and their skin starts to lose its natural elasticity. This results in loose skin and the patients will often notice skin beginning to droop either over the eyelid or against the eyelashes and this creates an appearance that is not true to the natural look of the eye.
Once the skin has lost some of its natural elasticity, the muscles below the skin also began to lose their strength and this leads to unwanted fatty deposits, such as bags under the eyes.
If you suffer from puffiness, droopiness, wrinkles, sagging or bags in the eye area, then an elective blepharoplasty could be the ideal solution. Eyelid surgery was the third most performed procedure in 2012 and is a great way of reclaiming your natural and youthful appearance.
The best way to determine which type of plastic surgery is best for your unique case is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Peterson at his clinic in Kelowna. He will assess your situation and provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision.
