The eyes are usually the most engaging and colorful attraction of the face – inviting eyes are essential to a youthful appearance. Eyelid surgery, technically known as Blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure which involves the removal of excess fat, skin, and muscle from the lower and upper eyelids. Dr. Leong recommends this procedure to restore a more youthful and pleasing appearance to the eye area. Eyelid surgery can also improve vision for patients who have excess, drooping skin of the upper eyelids that is interfering with their vision. Early signs of aging are revealed in the eyes, more than any other part of the body, due to squinting, sun damage and heredity. The lower eyelids are one of the first areas of the face to show age-related changes. Skin begins to slacken as muscles start to droop and tissues around the eyes start to weaken. This creates shadowy hollows, wrinkles and bags while excess fat becomes more visibly prominent. The upper eyelid skin also loses its elasticity, resulting in a crepey appearance, while the lid may actually begin to descend downward and rest on the eyelashes. This not only highlights dramatic aging but can also affect vision. Using his specialized techniques and skill, Dr. Leong is able to restore the eyelids to a more youthful, more natural look.
