Eyelid Surgery: Genetics aren’t Exactly Always Fair
Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery | Sep 01, 2010 | Comments 3
How much does the area of your eyes bother you?
If this is something you think about every day, feeling like your droopy eyes make you look tired? Then now is probably the time for eyelid surgery.
If it is something you only think about a couple of times a year when you see yourself in the mirror at a strange angle, then now is probably not the time.
Genetics aren’t exactly always fair and some people in their 50’s have eyes like they were in their 30’s, and unfortunately the opposite is also true. The eye area, especially the upper lids are one of the first areas to show aging. Even young people sometimes have very heavy looking eyelids.
Thankfully, the surgery for the upper-eyelids is one of those with the least down time and shortest time to perform, where average surgery times in our experience usually takes 30 minutes to one-hour.
Surgery of the lower eyelid area generally takes a little longer and varies based upon which procedure is best for you.
Coming in for a complimentary consultation and using computer imaging to show some of the possibilities for your eyes is a very nice way to help you find that right time.
