Did you know that eyelid lift surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is consistently one of the top cosmetic procedures performed in the country? With over 100,000 procedures performed each year, many people seek the procedure’s benefits.

Despite their popularity, you may not know why so many people have been turning to blepharoplasties. Learn a few of the reasons you could benefit from getting an eyelid lift.

Get Rid of ‘Eye Bags’

Due to age or genetics, excess skin and fat of the lower eyelid can result in sagging or wrinkles underneath the eyes. Blepharoplasty helps address this problem by creating a smoother look that makes you appear more youthful.

Fix Puffy Eyes

As people age, the tissues around the eyes weaken and lose their elasticity. The skin will sag and may appear puffy. With an eyelid lift, sagging skin can be addressed, leading to a more refreshed, youthful look.

Improve Vision

Aside from helping you achieve your aesthetic goals, an eyelid lift can help improve your vision. When excessive eyelid drooping obscures or blocks your vision, it can be a problem. An eyelid lift can help address those drooping eyelids and improve your vision.

If you’ve been noticing drooping eyelids have been causing you vision problems, speak to a doctor to learn if a blepharoplasty can help.
