Ideal candidates are looking to improve the overall look of their eyelids. If you have permanent bags under your eyes or skin that are obstructing your vision, an eyelid lift can help tighten up that skin. This cosmetic surgery often assists patients in looking younger thanks to its softening effect around the eyes. You can also help prevent future under-eye wrinkles with the right incisions into the lower lid.
There are a few conditions that may exclude you from treatment. If you currently have glaucoma or chronic dry eye, a blepharoplasty may not be the best procedure for you. However, this is not to say you are completely barred from treatment. Active eye infections will also prevent you from receiving an eyelid lift. Luckily, Dr. S. Darrell Lee can help get you the aesthetic care you need with a wide range of alternative treatments.
