16 Jan Are You a Good Blepharoplasty Candidate?
It’s common to experience changes in our facial skin as we age. Over time, elastin and collagen break down, and as a result our skin gradually loses its elasticity. When this happens, fat can gather on the upper and lower eyelids, making you look older. Also, your upper eyelids may droop, your eyebrows may sag, and you may develop puffiness under your eyes. Not only can this affect your self-esteem, but it could also interfere with your ability to see. Luckily, there is a blepharoplasty procedure, which means eyelid surgery in NYC. One that can be performed here at the NY Facial Plastic Surgery Center.
If you want to have a younger, refreshed appearance, find out if you are the right candidate for blepharoplasty.
