As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and we start to experience sagging skin. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, performed by an accomplished plastic surgeon in Cape Town, is the procedure that cuts away excess fat and skin from the eyelid to prevent them from drooping. Not only do sagging eyelids give off an older appearance, but they can also interfere with your peripheral vision.

What you need to know

The eyelids are complex structures that require care and precision. Their function and appearance result from the critical interplay of antagonistic muscles, ligaments, microscopic tendons, cartilage support, the eye globe itself, many discreet fat pockets, the surrounding bony orbit, and a complex drainage system.

I evaluate every structure in a comprehensive consultation to accurately determine which structures need to be removed, augmented or even resided in alternate positions.

The procedure

This evaluation seamlessly culminates in an operation suited to your specific needs, often resulting in some of the most striking transformations in cosmetic surgery in Cape Town. The outcome is not just aesthetic but functional, restoring the youthful openness to your eyes while preserving their natural contour and function.
