As key elements in facial expression, the eyes convey messages of emotion, vitality, and age. Over time, the eyes undergo changes that often make people feel as if they appear sad or tired. In 2006, approximately 223,000 people had eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, to correct these common problems. The aging process can cause the eyelids to sag and droop, which in combination with bags and puffiness can make you look tired and older than you really are.

Growing older, they say, beats the alternative. Whether it's true or not, it can be cold comfort as one watches the signs of age overtake one's features. Blepharoplasty is, as surgeries go, a relatively minor procedure that can have a relatively major effect. Still, even minor surgical procedures have their share of risks. Be sure to choose a surgeon with the right qualifications, who will work with you by making sure you understand all of the pros and cons of whatever procedure you are considering. A board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Gabriel will help you make the decisions that are right for you.
