Eyelid Aesthetics
Eyelid Aesthetics In your 30s, your eyebrows and forehead start to sag, which is the first sign that your face is aging. Therefore, the skin on the eyelids is stretched. With age, the muscles in the upper eyelids weaken and more skin develops over them. With aging and gravity, the lower eyelid begins to sag. For this reason, the skin on the lower eyelid becomes thinner and crow’s feet wrinkles occur. Eyelid aesthetics tightens the eye area by getting rid of excess skin, muscle and fat on the lower and upper eyelids. Eyelid aesthetics is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the eyelids, reduce under-eye bags, remove wrinkles around the eyes, and make people look younger.
What Happens Before Eyelid Aesthetics?
Before the surgery, an eye function test is done to understand how to modify the procedure. Your doctor will talk to you about the surgery, medications, the effects of smoking and alcohol, and how the surgery will be performed.
