Blepharoplasty – A Functional and Cosmetic Solution Are you dissatisfied with your image in the mirror? Maybe you have bags underneath your eyes or sagging skin hanging over your eyes, making you look much older than what you would like to look. This should be no cause for concern as the team at Pari Shams offer both upper and lower blepharoplasty in London at their clinic in Harley Street. They state that it is important to realize that when it comes to blepharoplasty, it is a procedure that does improve your visual appearance but it is not only a treatment for cosmetic reasons. In the case that sagging skin is starting to impair your vision, the procedure would be functional too. It is especially when it comes to upper blepharoplasty that patients would call on this team of experts for practical reasons. As we age, our skin becomes less supple due to lowered levels of collagen production in the body. This, often in combination with exposure to natural elements, genetics and lifestyle choices can cause the skin of the eyelids to sag so severely that it can block your vision. It is also a condition that goes along with the weakening of the eye muscles and then at a point, they become too weak to support the skin and hold it in place. Thus, when you are tired of looking tired the entire time, you are feeling old just because of the way your eyes look or you struggle to see, they can take care of you with the simple procedure of upper blepharoplasty. Lower blepharoplasty leans more into the cosmetic side of surgery. You will call on the team at Pari Shams for lower blepharoplasty when the skin around the bottom of your eyes is sagging or folding, a concern that can also interfere with your vision or when you have under-eye bags that simply won’t go away even after a night of peaceful sleep. When the lower eyelids have sagged far, it can expose the white parts of the eye that will have an impact again on how you look. Puffy fat deposits in and around the upper and lower eyelids can also improve in appearance from this advanced procedure. Lastly, it is also a solution when you have wrinkles around your eyes. For functional blepharoplasty, you should be able to claim the expense of this medical procedure from your health insurance. You would need to have a report from the team that states that this is a procedure that is a medical need. To get your insurance to agree to pay for the procedure, they would use the Humphrey Visual Field Analyser to measure your peripheral visual field to be able to indicate that the sagging skin around your eyes is having an impact on your vision.
