Superior Eyelid Surgery

The flaccidity of the skin of the upper eyelid causes the appearance of drooping eyelids that is very common to see after the age of 40, associated or not with a lowering of the eyebrows and flaccidity of the frontotemporal region.

The procedure involves removing excess skin while maintaining proper function.

In some cases, it’s also necessary to remove upper fat bags.

Facial aging becomes noticeable around the eyelids at around 30 to 40 years of age, resulting in increased skin laxity, weakened eyelid muscles, and the visibility of orbital fat, causing what are commonly referred to as ‘eyelid bags’.

These changes create a tired appearance in the gaze and contribute to making a person appear older than their actual age.

Modern lower eyelid surgery is performed to remove or reposition, as needed, the fat bags. Simultaneously, excess skin is treated, and the muscles of both upper and lower eyelids are repositioned, resulting in a youthful and refreshed appearance to the gaze.
