How is Upper Eyelid Aesthetics Performed?

What are the signs of aging in the upper eyelid?
The existing elastic structure of the skin gradually decreases as we age. This loss of elasticity, which disappears over time, is first observed in the eyelids. Therefore, the first visible signs of aging are in this area. For this reason, age-related changes in the upper eyelid cause a tired and dull expression in the facial area.
It causes dissatisfaction by causing the person to look much older than he/she is over time. Signs of aging seen on the upper eyelid can be listed as color change, drooping eyelid, wrinkles and sagging, crow’s feet, dull and sad facial expression, and accumulation of skin texture.
Loosening of the skin tissue visible on the upper eyelid not only causes droopy eyelid , but sometimes can completely block vision. If this is the case, it must be treated as it affects eye function. When the droopiness in the eyebrow and forehead area is added to this situation, the aesthetic appearance may deteriorate and the need for surgery may be greater.
Can Lower and Upper Eyelid Aesthetics Be Performed at the Same Time?
The surgery can be performed with local or general anesthesia. Local application is often preferred for these surgeries. Depending on the individual’s current needs, only the upper eyelid surgery can be performed, or the lower eyelid surgery can be performed simultaneously, depending on the need .
