As we age, the skin around our eyes begins to lose its natural elasticity, resulting in sagging and drooping eyelids. This can not only affect one’s appearance but may also impair peripheral vision. Eyelid surgery, performed by a skilled surgeon like Dr. Paul Leong, can restore a youthful appearance to your eyes while enhancing both your aesthetics and vision.
Upper Eyelid Surgery: A Youthful, Refreshed Appearance
The upper eyelids are often the first area where signs of aging become evident. As the skin begins to sag, it may partially obstruct your vision, giving you a tired or older appearance. Upper eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, can restore the eyes’ youthful look by removing excess skin and tissue from the natural eyelid crease.
Dr. Leong’s precision ensures that even the slightest adjustments maintain a natural and refreshed result—without the wide-eyed or “surprised” look that many fear. The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia and oral sedation, offering a minimally uncomfortable recovery.
In cases where sagging eyelids impair your peripheral vision, upper eyelid surgery may be covered by health insurance. Whether for cosmetic or functional reasons, Dr. Leong’s expertise ensures a rejuvenating result that enhances both the look and function of your eyes.
