 Am I a
good candidate for Chicago eyelid surgery?
Any one or combination of
the following conditions may indicate that you are a good candidate for eyelid
surgery:
-
excess skin obscuring the
natural fold of the upper eyelids
-
loose skin hanging down from
the upper eyelids, perhaps impairing vision
-
a puffy appearance to the
upper eyelids, making the eyes look tired
-
excess skin and fine, crepey wrinkles of the lower eyelids
-
bags and dark circles under
the eyes, often with a depression along the bony border of
the lower eyelids
-
droopiness of the lower
eyelids, showing white below the iris
(colored portion of the eye)
Aesthetic eyelid surgery
can usually correct these problems, though other treatments may also need to be
considered. For example, if the upper eyelid condition is accompanied by sagging
of the eyebrows, then a forehead lift may be recommended. Smoothing of crow's
feet may require chemical peeling or laser resurfacing procedures. Circles
beneath the eyes caused by dark pigmentation may be treated with a bleaching
solution or chemical peel. Your plastic surgeon can provide further information
if you have an interest in any of these additional procedures.
