Cosmetic eyelid surgery which is also referred to as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that improves the appearance of the lower eyelids, upper eyelids, or both. It can also make you look more rested and alert by giving a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes.

Specifically, eyelid surgery can treat sagging or loose skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelids and can also impair vision. It can also treat bags under the eyes, excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid, fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids, and droopiness of the lower eyelids. The droopiness may show white below the iris (the colored portion of the eye).

Typically, eyelid surgery is performed on men and women whom are adults and have healthy facial tissues and muscles. Also, the best candidates will have realistic goals for the improvement of their upper and/or lower eyelids and the area surrounding them.

This procedure should only be performed for you and not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any kind of ideal image. Good candidates for the procedure include healthy individuals who do not have any life-threatening illnesses or medical conditions capable of imparing the healing process. Non-smokers are always at less risk when it comes to any kind of surgery. People with a positive outlook and specific goals on hand for their blepharoplasty are easier to deal with. And of course, the prospective patient should be free of serious eye conditions.

Thyroid disorders like Graves' disease and over or underactive thyroid. Also cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure or any other circulatory disorder including diabetes.

You must be completely candid during your consultation with your plastic surgery to ensure the success and safety of your eyelid surgery procedure. Your plastic surgeon will ask you a number of question regarding your health, lifestyle, and desires. For your consultation you should be prepared to discuss many things. You'll be asked why you want the surgery and what your expectations are as well as your desired outcome. You will discuss your medical conditions, drug allergies, and previous medical treatments. You will also discuss your current use of the following: vitamins, herbal supplements, medications, tobacco, alcohol, and drugs.
