Blepharoplasty: The Cure for Looking Tired When You’re Not
No one wants people to think they look tired all of the time. There are times when we really are, but as age starts to catch up with us, the eyelids start to take some of that brunt, and they begin to droop. This drooping can make you look tired or even stern. Drooping lids can also affect you physically by making your sight in the periphery unclear.
A solution to these issues is found in the plastic surgery called Blepharoplasty. This treatment will remove parts of the eyelids that are causing the problem and leave you looking younger and seeing better. Sometimes the issue with aging eyes is below the eye where fat deposits can develop. This treatment can also take care of this problem.
The surgery itself is fairly simple. There is only a small incision on each eye in a very natural location,
and the stitches they use are very tiny. The procedure takes very little time, being usually no more than 2 hours, and it is outpatient, so you will go home soon after the procedure.
The recovery will not be a difficult one. Patients can usually return to their jobs about 10 days after the surgery, and they can go back to practices that are more demanding after no more than a couple of weeks. The patient will want to stay in bed on the day they have the procedure, and really take it easy for a few days after that. A patient who has a Blepharoplasty may have contusions from the surgery, but other than that and puffiness; there really should be no other issues under normal circumstances.
As you make your decision to get a Blepharoplasty, be sure and check around for a plastic surgeon that you can trust to do the surgery. Word of mouth is always a good way to find a good doctor, but the internet is also a useful tool. By searching under The American Society of Plastic Surgery, you should find doctors who will be what you are looking for.
After you search with your fingers, start your search on your feet, and visit the offices of the doctors, checking the atmosphere of the offices and courtesy of the staff. If you are satisfied with both, then make an appointment to meet the doctors, and see if he or she might be right for you.
Choosing the right surgeon should take into account their education, experience, and personality. You will be putting your eyes in this doctor’s care, so you want to be sure that they are serious about their work, and that they will empathize with your concerns.
When you do finally have your Blepharoplasty, hopefully you will have the results you had pictured. Perhaps now, people will not be always asking if you are tired. You will now have the young-looking eyes again that you have been wanting for years. This will give you confidence to face your work and other responsibilities with more excitement then before.
It’s easy to start wondering what is wrong with you when people are always telling you that you look tired. If you have this problem, it could be simply a cosmetic issue that a Blepharoplasty would take care of. This treatment will help eyelids that droop, deposits of fat and even problems with peripheral vision due to sagging eyelids.
