Eyelid Surgery Toronto

In most cases, the incision during upper eyelid blepharoplasty is placed in a natural crease thereby resulting in a scar that is barely visible. However, in some cases, the incision may not heal properly or it may extend beyond the natural crease, making it visible whether the eye is open or closed. A visible scar may also be due to its width.

Cosmetics may provide adequate camoflauge if it is undesirable. Scar revision, a cosmetic procedure to minimize the appearance of scarring, may also be performed.

Did you know that there is an “ideal” eyelid? Considered to be the most aesthetically pleasing, the “ideal” eyelid is one that is positioned just below the iris, at the top, while the lower lid should rest just above the bottom of the coloured part of the eye. While looking straight ahead, no white should be seen above or below the iris.

Sagging upper eyelids tend to cover too much of the top part of the iris, and sagging lower lids tend to show a little white.
