It has been said that “the eyes are the portal to the soul.” Every time we meet and converse with someone the first thing we notice about them as we make eye contact are their eyes. The anatomical contour and emotional changes of the eyelids and periorbital region play an important role in maintaining facial harmony through expression of human character, mood and feelings. Changes associated with an aging eyelid can project an inaccurate look of fatigue or lack of vitality despite adequate rest and good health.
Blepharoplasty (Greek blepharo = eyelid + plasty = to change or mold) can be performed for functional or aesthetic reasons, or both. Functional blepharoplasty restores normalcy to an eyelid that has been altered by trauma, infection, inflammation, degeneration, neoplasia or developmental errors. Cosmetic surgery attempts to improve the appearance of tissue or structures that are histologically and functionally normal. In either case, the goal of blepharoplasty is the restoration and rejuvenation of the eyes to give a more rested and natural, youthful look.
