Eyelid Surgery in Cairns The eyes are one of the places on a person's body that can very quickly show your age. This is because the skin around the delicate eye area is very thin, so the effects of the sun, aging and lifestyle can quickly cause it to loosen, sag or wrinkle. Surgery to remove the excess skin rejuvenates the eyes and is one of the most rewarding procedures for Dr Ling's patients. If the excess skin of the upper eyelids obstructs vision, a rebate from Medicare is possible.
The medical term for surgery on the eyelids is blepharoplasty. This involves removing sagging skin, creating a naturally tighter appearance, and giving a much more youthful look.
Blepharoplasty is a relatively easy cosmetic procedure and can leave you looking years younger. It is possible to combine blepharoplasty with other procedures, such as a brow lift , to give an overall youthful appearance. Eyelid surgery is best suited for patients in good physical health who have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure. While most people who undergo blepharoplasty are older than 37, it is possible to undergo this surgery at a younger age if the appearance of your eyes bothers you.
Blepharoplasty can successfully treat:
- Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the eyes
- Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids
- Bags under the eyes
- Droopiness of the lower eyelids,
- Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid
Eyelid surgery improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, and gives a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes.
