The eye and lid region is not only the facial feature most affected by aging but also the most challenging area to restore to its natural bright expression. A skillfully performed blepharoplasty should enhance your appearance and leave your face looking still like you. Your eyelids should neither feel or look tight nor call attention to themselves once healing is complete.
Most close friends should only wonder whether you've had surgery. Casual acquaintances may ask you if you've cut your hair or lost a few pounds or just returned from a long vacation. First-time acquaintances should think you've always had great looking eyes and not give your lids a second thought.
The proper goal of an eyelid lift should be to restore the vibrancy and expressiveness of the eyes as opposed to erasing each and every visible sign of aging or artificially "glamorizing" the face to a look it never had even when you were twenty. The exotic "done" appearance of years past (highly arched brows, taut lower eyelid skin, hollowed-out fat pockets) is no longer consistent with the more modern desire to achieve a less obvious but more flattering enhancement consistent with the natural layout of the rest of the face.
