Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery, to Knock Some Age Off Your Face
Aging is inevitable, and with aging comes the different physical changes associated with it. These are the very alterations that make one have a hard time dealing with the process. As my mom best puts it, “I have nothing against adding another year to my age, but I am most concerned with the wrinkles and all concomitant to it.” We are all headed to the old age end; we can’t beat it nor stop it. Our neck, cheeks, and other facial aspects will eventually begin to sag. One of these days, you might just stare at the mirror and ask yourself, ‘Where did my youthful mien go?’
The eye region is often the primary area to show any signs of aging and sun damage. As one reaches 40, baggy eyelids are often a common concern. This is especially true with most Asians, who already have thin lids. This is the reason why they effortlessly develop wrinkles around their eyes. In addition to that, the eye area is considered the busiest, since it is subject to a lot of activity, such as blinking, squinting, and even making facial expressions.
One prominent feature of aging is the sagging upper and lower eyelids. The muscles around our eyes are more vulnerable to losing their muscle tone and elasticity as we age. Gravity then acts, allowing the upper and lower lids to slowly slide downward and create a droopy look. Puffy eyes and baggy lids can be the biggest obstacles in achieving a fresh and young look. Unfortunately, there will come a time when no amount of makeup can cover the results of the aging process. With the amount of technology surrounding us today, it is best to use all its products to their maximum capacity. One of the options is cosmetic eyelid surgery, which can help one chuck that sleepy look off their face.
Why should I consider cosmetic eyelid surgery?
Cosmetic eyelid surgery, specifically blepharoplasty, is the niftiest and most effective method to slowing down—if not totally stopping—the aging process. It is the best way to bring back the spark your eyes used to have. There are numerous perks when one has it done. First, there is a significant reduction in the bags found under the eyes, therefore reducing the need to thickly apply any concealer. It can also leave someone with a more alert appearance, through the upper eyelid surgery that can help tighten up the upper lid. It all boils down to achieving a younger and fresher look.
Who should I consult about cosmetic eyelid surgeries?
Blepharoplasty is usually done on an outpatient basis, and is generally considered a safe procedure. However, one should be picky when choosing the right surgeon for the job. In my case, since I am an Asian, it is best to turn to an Asian surgeon, particularly one from South Korea as they are the ones that can best understand my unique Asian eyelid features. Asian surgeons are also the ones that have already earned the global reputation of being the best when it comes to eyelid surgeries. This means that any individual who wishes to have their eyelids done can travel to any Asian country for plastic surgery, such as South Korea, and have their nip and tuck sessions there.
As a middle aged Asian woman, I can now feel the effects of those days when I took my skin for granted—particularly the skin surrounding my eyes. Feeling invincible, I would often expose myself to the sun,wear my make-up to sleep, and even buy cheap make-up, thinking that it was okay to do so. I really loved my eyes, and used them to flirt and express my other emotions in a nonverbal manner.
