Have you thought about how others can assess your age and vitality in a single glance? It seems that many aspects of the eyes betray our age and lifestyle according to numerous studies conducted in the field of cosmetic surgery. Both eyes and periorbital area are the catchment areas of attention during direct verbal contact between people. Changes in the appearance of the eyes and eyelids due to aging might convey a wrong message of fatigue, sadness or lack of vigor, which alters the entire facial appearance.
In some cases excess skin and subcutaneous tissue of pseudo-herniation of the upper eyelid fat can cause visible folds of skin that obstructs the upper visual field and changes in relief in the form of bags of fat or dark circles at the lower eyelid. Folds of skin protruding from the upper eyelid can "fall" over the gene, causing loss of peripheral visibility. People who do not want to have excess skin in the area of the eyelids generally resort to the medical intervention known as blepharoplasty. Many women are affected by the so called dark circles, the "bags under the eyes", causing frequent fatigue and enhancing the effects of ageing.
The eyelid skin is very soft and thin and when a bluish tint is noticed around the eyes, this is often due to an inadequate blood flow in this area. Dark circles can be exacerbated by fatigue coloration, disease, inadequate nutrition, eye irritation or aggressive effect of some environmental factors, as well as hormonal changes, and pathological causes (edema) or significant weight changes. Blepharoplasty is a solution to correct eyelid drooping folded and dark circles deepened in the area of the eyes. However, this intervention cannot be applied for the dropped eyebrows or for the periorbital wrinkles. Blepharoplasty is one of the most invasive cosmetic surgery procedures of the face.
Blepharoplasty is a surgery that can have both aesthetic and functional purposes, involving remodeling (rejuvenation) of the periorbital region by removing excess tissue and repositioning the excess skin, fixing and strengthening the orbicular muscles at the same time. These muscles surround the eye and eyelid opening and closing their coordinates. The eyes are a feature that can be easily affected by the effects of skin and tissue ageing. Fat bags under the eyes and drooping lower eyelid skin can be removed so that your eyes will regain a refreshing look and a periorbital region that is visibly rejuvenated.
Cosmetic surgery of the eyelids has been described in the literature for over a century. The first evidence is in a book written by Aulus Cornelius Celsus in the late 1400s. The author talks about the excision of skin from the area of the lower eyelid. The term "blepharoplasty" was adopted only a few years ago and is associated with a Greek noun. Although usually women are more likely to resort to this type of surgery, blepharoplasty is extremely common among men as well. This procedure offers men the same benefits, including more lively eyelids and a youthful appearance of the eyes.
