A plastic surgeon has determined the optimal age for blepharoplasty 16:56

If there are symptoms such as lower eyelid hernia, eyelid surgery can be performed from the age of 18. At the same time, indications for upper or circular blepharoplasty to correct age-related changes appear on average after 45-50 years. Plastic surgeon, candidate of medical sciences Vladimir Zlenko told socialbites.ca.

“If there are swellings under the eyes, bags, hernias in the lower eyelids, or if frequent and unexplained swellings occur, transconjunctival blepharoplasty will help eliminate them. Its advantage is that it leaves no scars because the incisions are on the mucosa inside the lower eyelids. You can perform such an operation from the age of 18,” he said.

However, in case of age-related skin changes, tears and excess skin in the lower eyelids, a much better result will be achieved with classic lower blepharoplasty or checklifting, according to the doctor.

“If it is necessary to correct excess skin, hernias, folds, severe drooping of the upper eyelids, upper eyelid plastic surgery or circular rejuvenation of the periorbital region is performed. These surgeries are especially valid after the age of 45-50, but can be performed earlier due to individual characteristics,” he said.

Zlenko added that blepharoplasty can be combined with other surgeries to rejuvenate the appearance.

“If there are indications for a more extensive intervention, then blepharoplasty can be performed simultaneously with endoscopic facelift, SMAS face and neck plastic surgery. Such operations allow you to achieve a comprehensive rejuvenation effect instantly,” said Zlenko.
