What Eyelid Surgery Can’t Do
Eyelid surgery is designed for sagging around the eyes and droopy eyelids. It can also create a “double eyelid” (a crease in the upper eyelid). However, blepharoplasty does not correct the following problems:
crow’s feet
dark rings around the eyes
sagging around the eyebrows.
These problems are better treated with other cosmetic procedures. Crow’s feet can be treated with Botox and sagging around the eyebrows can be treated with a forehead lift. Unfortunately, dark rings around the eyes from pigmentation is a difficult problem to correct. Some physicians suggest a chemical peel.
Whatever the problem, always seek the advice of a medical professional before deciding on the course of treatment.
