The eyelids
are the first of our facial features to show the signs of aging. Its
not uncommon for people in their early 30s to begin showing a tired, angry,
or sad look because of this problem.
Consequently
many people seek plastic surgery to reverse these changes with a procedure
called a blepharoplasty also known as an eyelid lift, eyelift
or eye tuck. This is one of the most frequently performed plastic surgery
procedures in the United States and usually the first facial rejuvenation
procedure that people seek.
Eyelid
surgery can correct drooping upper eyelids and puffy bags below your eyes
which make you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere
with your vision. Blepharoplasty is not a treatment for Crows feet,
sagging eyebrows, nor will it remove dark circles under the eyes.
You may
be a candidate for eyelift (blepharoplasty) if you have excessive, sagging,
or wrinkled upper or lower eyelid skin. Eyelid lift can also be helpful
if you have excess upper eyelid skin that interferes with vision or if
you have lost your natural upper eyelid crease. Eyelid lift may also be
indicated if you have puffy pouches of fat in the upper or lower lids
that create a tired or aged appearance. The eyelift (blepharoplasty) procedure
is intended to produce a more youthful and rested appearance of the eyes.
The procedure may also widen your visual fields if excessive upper lid
skin has partially blocked vision.

Monica, there are many doctors & plastic surgeons that offer the blepharoplasty
procedure. Dr. Steven Teitelbaum is one such doctor. His practice in Santa
