About Dermatochalasis Treatment
Eyelid aesthetics can make important contributions to both visual comfort and appearance. Upper lid skin excess and lower eyelid bags that develop with ageing are corrected surgically.
Dermatochalasis is the loss of elasticity and sagging of the upper eyelid skin; in advanced cases it can narrow the visual field. Lower eyelid bags create a constantly tired expression as the fat tissues become prominent.
Treatment includes upper eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty), lower eyelid bag surgery and, when needed, combined medical aesthetic procedures. For detailed aesthetic lid surgery, see our blepharoplasty page; for the symptoms, see our Dermatochalasis page.
Who Is It For and When Is It Used?
Eyelid aesthetics is planned in the following situations:
- Upper lid skin sagging: In skin excess that narrows the visual field or causes a tired look.
- Lower eyelid bags: In fat bags that become prominent under the eye.
- Tired and aged appearance: In situations where changes around the lids cause aesthetic concern.
- Habit of raising the brow to see: In people who constantly use the forehead muscles to open their view.
Treatment Methods
The main methods used in eyelid aesthetics:
- Upper eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty): Sagging skin excess is removed, opening the visual field and achieving a younger look.
- Lower eyelid bag surgery: Adjusts the fat bags in the lower eyelid.
- Combined medical aesthetic procedures: Can be supported with botox and filler applications.
