Eyelid - Eyelid Surgeries

Eyelid Surgeries

The eyelid surgeries are called blepharoplasties and are performed either for medical reasons or to improve one's facial appearance.

Most of the cosmetic eyelid surgeries are aimed to enhance the look of the face and to boost one's self-confidence by restoring a youthful eyelid appearance. They are intended to remove fat and excess skin that may be found on the eyelids after a certain age. Cosmetic eyelid surgeries are mostly used to regain a younger and refreshed look but the costs are quite high, so not everyone can afford them.

Eyelid surgeries are also performed to improve one's peripheral vision or to treat chalazion, eyelid tumors, ptosis, trichiasis, and other eyelid-related conditions.

Eyelid surgeries are overall safe procedures but they carry certain risks since the area on which the operation is performed is so close to the eye.
