Many patients may not know the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty in Northern Virginia.
Blepharoplasty refers to the surgical procedure which is performed on either the upper or lower eyelid.
Below, we reflect upon the biggest differences within this surgery as far as how it differs depending on which lid is being addressed.
Eyelid surgery is the process where a surgeon removes any excess fat or tissue on either the upper or lower eyelid in order to create a younger looking appearance.
This is a popular treatment option for patients whose vision is affected by sagging skin, or for those with puffy looking lower lids.
When you receive a lower blepharoplasty in Northern Virginia, your doctor will likely focus on correcting any areas on the lower eyelid that cause it to look puffy or wrinkled.
Your surgeon will perform a lower blepharoplasty by creating an incision just beneath the lower eyelashes in order to remove any fat, muscle or skin that is creating the puffy appearance.
In some cases, fat may be redistributed in order to create an aesthetically pleasing result.
During an upper eyelid surgery session, your doctor will remove any extra skin or tissue that creates the appearance of a droopy lid.
You can expect an incision to be made along the upper crease of your eyelid in order to lift your skin and reposition your muscles for a younger looking, more refreshed appearance.
