WILL I NEED A LID LIFT IF I HAVE IT ONCE?

The aging process affects the entire body but nowhere more visibly than the face. Furthermore, the facial aging process affects all areas in different ways and at different rates. The upper eyelid can become very objectionable especially if it sags to a point where, for a woman makeup application becomes a challenge. This is when one may consider a lid lift or blepharoplasty.

When evaluating the upper eyelid for a lid lift, it’s important to also consider the brow. The upper eyelid sagging can be affected by excess skin of the upper eyelid directly, in addition to the sagging of the brow. Therefore, the brow sagging plus excess skin of the upper eyelid contributes to the unsightly appearance of aging of the face.

These combinations of factors contribute to the need for an upper lid blepharoplasty. As discussed earlier, the upper lid lift surgery is straightforward in so far as it requires the removal of this excess skin. If in addition the brow is determined to contribute then a brow lift may be indicated if complete treatment is desired.
