Eyelid surgery


The traces of timing on the eyelids are very obvious due to their central position.

Wrinkles around the eyes, under eyes puffiness, and drooping eyelid skin can not be camouflaged with clothing, since they are very effective in making the face look tired.

The eyelid skin thinness plays a major role in the formation and appearance of wrinkles around the eyes. The fatty tissue of thin skin pushes it out and causes puffiness around the eyes and drooping eyelids, which sometimes causes the vision field to shrink. The rate at which eyelid skin ages and sags depends on factors such as a person’s genetics, overexposure to the sun, and excessive movement of the muscles around the eyes.

In most cases, eyelid surgery has a cosmetic aspect and can be performed at any age depending on the person’s desire. Through this surgery, a lot of skin and fat tissue is removed and freshness is restored to the eyes.
