Am I a candidate for an eyelid lift?

ASK DR. YAGODA

Question: My eyes always look tired and I have eye bags. I’m a 42-year-old man from Manhattan and I scar easily. Am I a candidate for an eyelid lift?

Answer: Yes, lower lid bags can easily be removed without leaving any visible scar. This is through a transconjunctival approach. In this surgery, an incision is made inside the lower eyelid and the fat is removed from the inside. This technique not only removes the unwanted fat bags, but it also preserves the strength and elasticity of the lower eyelid skin.

Everyone knows that baggy and hanging upper eyelids can make you look old and tired. But, did you know that they can also cause functional/visual problems? That’s right. If it’s hard to put eyeliner on, it may be impacting your peripheral vision too.

Here’s what you need to do to find out if your eyelid surgery is cosmetic or functional: www.mayoclinic.org
