Knowing that no skincare regimen will solve a droopy eyelid look, men and women elect this popular surgery for an immediate, lasting effect. As shown in a recent global survey results, eyelid surgery ranks as the third most popular surgery worldwide, accounting for 13.1% of all surgical procedures.
People are slowing the hands of time by choosing to improve their “windows to the soul” in this popular procedure. This surgery is usually done for cosmetic reasons, but for those whose vision is impacted by drooping eyelids, it becomes a necessity. With age, the skin naturally droops due to gravity, environmental exposure and genetics. No amount of skin creams can combat this undesired effect of aging.
Because the eyes are so telling of a person’s thoughts and feelings, it makes sense that men and women alike would be eager to have this area look as good as possible.
