Can Eyelid Surgery Improve My Vision?

Posted in Eyelid Surgery, Facial Procedures, Facial Rejuvenation

Blepharoplasty – also known as “eyelid surgery” – can offer a multitude of aesthetic benefits. The surgery can address puffiness, excess skin, and fine wrinkles on or surrounding the upper and/or lower eyelids. Especially when performed by a qualified provider, blepharoplasty can produce a much more alert, rested, and energized facial aesthetic.

While it’s true that many patients seek eyelid surgery for cosmetic purposes, some don’t realize that the procedure can also improve vision. Certain blepharoplasty techniques can target eyelid ptosis, or drooping eyelid skin that can weigh down and obstruct a patient’s eyesight. Additionally, patients can open up their peripheral vision with blepharoplasty, as
excess fat surrounding the eye can be reduced.*

If you are interested in eyelid surgery, we advise you to seek the help of an experienced plastic surgeon. He or she will be able to tailor the procedure to satisfy not only your cosmetic goals, but your functional needs as well.
