More men now having eyelid surgery

Cosmetic surgery isn’t just for women anymore. In fact, a recent report said the number of men getting eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, has skyrocketed over the last few years. With age, your eyes can start to take on a tired appearance as undereye bags develop. Eyelid surgery restores the firm, youthful appearance of your eyes.

According to a recent study, undereye bags are the result of fluid buildup or sagging skin under the eyes. They are caused by excess fat being deposited around the lower lid as we age. Interestingly, fat elsewhere in the face is lost during aging.

During blepharoplasty, the surgeon removes this excess fat under the eyes. Dr. Carney also likes to follow up the surgery with a skin tightening procedure or chemical peel to give the best possible results.
