Early signs of ageing manifest differently on each face, but the eyes can instantly reveal that you have surpassed your youthful years. As you get older, the skin around this region become more prone to developing wrinkles, crow’s feet, and sagging skin.
Excess skin around the eyelid not only makes you look older and worn out, but it can also impair your vision. Luckily, this can be fixed by different cosmetic procedures that make you appear more alert and youthful.
If the main concern for you is drooping skin around the eyes, your Plastic Surgeon will probably present you these two options: Blepharoplasty or Brow Lift in Dubai. While both procedures offer dramatic results, you should be aware of what they entail. Here are all the things you need to know to choose the nest solution for your particular concerns.
What is a Brow Lift?
A browlift, also known as forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that corrects lax skin on your forehead and eyebrows. This procedure can smoothen wrinkles and fine lines, this providing a taut appearance to the upper-eye region.
How is a Brow Lift performed?
Your Plastic Surgeon performs this procedure in various ways depending on your requirements and desired look. The approach can be conventional or more advanced in the form of endoscopic brow lift. The surgery is typically performed under either local or general anesthesia.
For the conventional brow lift, the practitioner first makes an incision along length of your hairline. He will then remove excess fat from this region, and reposition muscles to attain a well-proportioned look.
On the other hand, an endoscopic brow lift involves making several small incisions that are typically hidden along the hairline. The Plastic Surgeon will then use surgical equipment to elevate the brow tissue.
Any incisions made during both procedures are closed using sutures or surgical adhesive.
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a procedure that removes excess skin or fat around the eyes. This cosmetic surgery can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids, or both – depending on the needs of the patient. Blepharoplasty greatly helps patients who struggle with a tired appearance due to sagging eyelids and under-eye bags.
How is Blepharoplasty performed?
Similar to a brow lift, this procedure of this surgery will vary depending on your requirements. If the problematic area is the upper eyelids, the Plastic Surgeon will begin by making an incision along the fold of the eyelid. He or she will then remove excess muscle, skin and fat from the region.
While addressing the lower eyelids, the incision will be made inside the natural crease to correct the sagging soft tissue. This incision is typically made right below the eyelashes. The practitioner will then redistribute unwanted fat, muscle, and skin to achieve a more youthful appearance. Sutures or surgical glue will finally be used to close the incisions.
Which one is right for you?
A thorough consultation with your Plastic Surgeon can help evaluate which procedure is the answer to your concerns. However, reviewing the benefits of a Brow Lift and Blepharoplasty can help you make the right decision for yourself.
A Brow Lift is better suited to people who have naturally lower brows. The procedure allows for improved brow alignment, giving you an alert appearance. A brow lift not only corrects sagging upper eyelids but also reduces the appearance of wrinkles. If these are your concerns, you may consider getting a brow lift.
On the other hand, Blepharoplasty is highly effective for patients with puffy upper or lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty can dramatically reduce bulging skin in your visual field. It also promises an energetic and more youthful appearance.
