Facelift Sunnyside, West Sussex

Facelift takes up loose skin of the lower cheeks and this reduces jowl and redefines the jawline.  It can be combined with a necklift which gives more powerful tightening to folds on the neck if these are heavy.  It is usually considered that facelift 'turns back the clock' by about 10 years in terms of facial appearance.

Introduction Upper eyelids When an extra fold of skin develops on the upper eyelids the eyes look ‘hooded’ and may have a tired, sad or ageing appearance.  This tends to happen with the passage of time but it can also be significant in younger adults.  Sometimes there is so much extra skin that it rests on the eyelashes and it can obscure peripheral vision.   Lower eyelids Extra skin also develops on the lower eyelid.  In addition, there is a small pad of fat which sits under the eyeball and this may spread forwards.  Wrinkles and bags are present in the lower eyelid as a result of these changes.  This makes eyes look puffy and tired.  Again, this is age related but it may be seen in younger adults.   What is blepharoplasty? This is a plastic surgical procedure which refreshes the eyes.  Blepharoplasty treats hooding and heaviness of the upper eyelids and removes bags and wrinkles in the lower eyelid.   As a result the eyelids look younger, less tired and puffy.  You may also feel more comfortable and improve peripheral vision by having excess eyelid folds removed.
