Eyelid Surgery

Are You A Good Candidate For Blepharoplasty?

As with any surgical procedure, there are certain factors that make you a suitable candidate:

  • good health
  • good muscle tone under your eyes (if considering lower-lid surgery)
  • healthy skin with no serious sun damage
  • an understanding that the procedure will not eliminate further signs of aging
  • an understanding that the procedure cannot correct crow’s feet, fine wrinkles under your eyes, or severely sagging brows

Interesting Eye Facts

The eye cannot be transplanted. It is connected to the brain by the optic nerve, which cannot be “reconnected” if severed. The cornea, which is the clear front part of the eye, can be transplanted. Surgeons often use plastic intraocular lens implants (IOLs) to replace natural lenses removed during cataract surgery.

  • Color exists only in our heads. Without the brain’s ability to interpret the intricate and individual way light is reflected off every object in nature, the world would be entirely colorless.
