Eyelid Surgery - Re-illuminating The Window Of The Soul

As we age our eyes can become tired and droopy

. If they are the windows to our souls then what does this say about our souls? Eyelid surgery can correct these problems and make us look more alert and brighten our entire look.

Sometimes people get older and their eyes become less attractive. To counteract that drowsy look you can find tons of serums and creams out there. While some of them might help small creases and wrinkles they might not keep you from looking just flat exhausted. So what are you to do with the excess skin, bags and general puffy look to your eyes? Now is when you need to consider eyelid surgery.

Eyelid surgery can drastically reduce the droopy tired look that you have become accustom to seeing when you look in the mirror. The procedure is really very simple. First, you will be given an anesthetic for your comfort during the procedure. Then your doctor will make an incision, either on the upper or lower one depending on what you are having performed. He will then reposition fat, tighten tissue and muscles, and then remove any excess skin. Both incisions will be made in an area where they will be concealed by the natural creases. It's that simple. It is a fairly quick procedure you will be in and out of the operating room in no time.

When you prepare for eyelid surgery you will need to meet with your physician at least once. He will want to get your complete medical history, evaluate you for any health risks and get an idea of your general overall health. He'll then take photographs for your chart and will give you your options for this type of procedure. If you want both upper and lower done you might have to do multiple surgeries you might not, that will depend on what your doctor thinks is the best course of action. He will give you all the information you need to know about having this type of procedure.

When you are through with your surgery you will need to follow all the post operative procedures your doctor gives you. If you have to take medication or put ointment on them regularly be sure to follow them. You won't be able to wear eye makeup for a period of time after the procedure so keep that in mind during your recovery. Also for the first few weeks and until you're healed you need to wear dark sunglasses when you go outside and take extra sun protection precautions.

While you might not feel it at first, eyelid surgery can change the way you feel about your face. While it might not take care of all of the fine lines and wrinkles that can age you it will make you look as alert as you normally feel. The great thing is the results of procedure are long lasting. No, it won't keep you from aging, but you might not have to worry about those bags making you look tired and old any longer.
