Turn Back Aging with Eyelid Surgery in Kogarah

The primary function of your eyelids to is protect your eyes as well as to keep them lubricated each time you blink. Eyelids can also be one of the first parts of our face that start to demonstrate the toll that aging can take on us. When your eyes and the area around them are anything less than vibrant, your entire face can lose some of that youthful glow. If you have drooping, sagging, or puffy bags under your eyes, you may want to consider the benefits of eyelid surgery in Kogarah.

Eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, can minimise the signs of ageing in your upper and lower lids. A/Prof. Damian Marucci, cosmetic plastic reconstructive surgeon, has successfully performed this and other facial surgical procedures on both women and men who want to restore youthfulness to their face.  He is one of 500 doctors worldwide to be recognized with the RealSelf 500 Award, which honors only the top-rated and most engaged board-certified plastic surgeons who have, throughout their careers, consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to patient education and positive patient outcomes.

Why does aging impact eyes?

As you age, the forces of gravity begin to take over. Your skin loses elasticity and the area around your eyes is one of the most susceptible to the process of getting older. Extra loose skin begins to cause wrinkling and the formation of bags under the eyes. Deposits of fatty tissue can cause your upper or lower lid to take on the appearance of being puffy. When that happens, your entire face loses out. You begin to look older than you really are. That’s why eyelid surgery in Kogarah has become a popular procedure to help stop the clock and give women and men their youthful appearances back.

What can eyelid surgery help correct?

Blepharoplasty can reduce or eliminate those bags under your eyes. Also, loose, saggy skin that ruins the natural contour of your upper eyelids can be corrected. Any fatty deposits are eradicated and droopy lower lids that reveal too much white are restored to their more youthful firmness.

In many cases, when A/Prof. Marucci eliminates sagging upper eyelids, patients report that their vision actually improves. The excess skin is no longer hanging down over their eyes and impairing their sight.

How do I know if eyelid surgery is right for me?

The only way to be certain is to schedule a consultation and examination with A/Prof. Marucci. He will listen to your concerns and examine the skin around your eyes and how it may be affecting your appearance. If you have no pre-existing medical condition that could hamper the healing process, and you are not being treated for a serious eye condition, you may be a good candidate for eyelid surgery. If A/Prof. Marucci recommends blepharoplasty for you, then you can work with the office to schedule a time to have the procedure done on an outpatient basis. To qualify for a rebate from medicare or your health fund, you need to have an optometrist document that the excess skin on the upper eyelids is affecting your vision. A/Prof Marucci can arrange this optometrist assessment.
