Advantages and Disadvantages of Upper Blepharoplasty

Advantage: Upper blepharoplasty is a proven and safe procedure to improve your appearance. Upper blepharoplasty may give a dramatic improvement depending upon the preferences of the patient. Eyes are the attractive and most focal part of the face. Such operation can be performed at a modest cost with quicker recovery. Most of the people preferred blepharoplasty than the full face lift. At a very modest cost, you can get 75-90% improvement in your looks. Upper blepharoplasty gives you expected results as compare to full face lift.
Disadvantage: If eyebrows are already droopy and weak, then you should require brow stabilization to prevent the further ancestry. For eyebrow stabilization browpexy is the only suitable procedure that can be performed with the same incision of upper blepharoplasty. Wrinkles at the lateral canthus also known as “Crow’s Feet” are minimally removed. Blepharoplasty alone is not the sufficient procedure to remove the droopiness of the eyelid due to defective aponeurosis or levator muscle “True Ptosis”. None of the patient have perfect eye anatomy. Every patient have some pre-existing anatomical limitations and why healing is not perfect. There may be some slight asymmetry after upper blepharoplasty.
