As we age, there are two areas of the face which are tell tale. They are the eyelids, either upper, lower or both plus the neck.
Wrinkling and sagging of the upper eyelid skin, "bagginess" under the lower eyelids and at the inner corners of the upper eyelids are correctible with day surgery under local anaesthetic.
There are several approaches used to correct these problems and discussion with your surgeon is necessary. In most people bruising is evident for up to two weeks with some swelling taking another week or so to resolve. Occasionally the healing takes a little longer.
Because the eyes are the central focus of the face Eyelift surgery freshens up the whole face.
Eyelifts are frequently undertaken by Mothers of the Bride, or those being married for a second time.
As seen on the television programme, Ten Years Younger in Ten Days, men can gain huge benefit from eyelift rejuvenation because scarring is minimal, virtually disappearing over 2 months, and they don’t need to wear makeup or grow their hair to cover the scars like they do with facelift surgery.
