Eyelid rejuvenation surgery, or blepharoplasty, can help you achieve a refreshed appearance. At his practice in Torrance, CA, renowned board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Bray specializes in blepharoplasty to enhance the eye area for patients of various ages.
With 15 years of experience and a highly personalized approach, Dr. will listen to your concerns and develop a plan that may help you achieve your goals. Below, we discuss how patients of different ages may approach eyelid surgery.
How Eyelid Surgery Goals Vary by Age
Eyelid surgery may involve removing or repositioning excess fat, managing the muscles of the eyelids, and removing excess skin above or below the eyes. An upper blepharoplasty focuses exclusively on the upper lids, while a lower blepharoplasty treats the lower lids (the area under your eyes). Many patients opt for both.
Your goals for blepharoplasty can change based on your age and the specific concerns you want to address. Here’s how eyelid surgery can be tailored to meet the needs of every stage of life:
In Your 20s and 30s
Younger patients often seek subtle enhancements to correct inherited traits, such as puffiness or drooping upper eyelids.
This stage typically aims to create a brighter, more alert appearance while maintaining a natural look.
In Your 40s and Beyond
As aging begins to show around the eyes, many patients experience sagging skin, fat displacement, or under-eye bags.
Blepharoplasty during this phase generally focuses on restoring a youthful and refreshed appearance by tightening loose skin and addressing fat deposits.
Benefits of Eyelid Surgery for All Ages
Blepharoplasty offers a range of benefits tailored to your needs at any age. Some of the possible benefits include:
- Reduced puffiness and under-eye bags
- Removal of excess skin of the eyelids
- A refreshed appearance
- Improved vision impaired by sagging eyelids
- Improved eyelid position
