A good candidate for eyelid surgery is someone with excess skin or fat around the eyes that cause drooping or puffiness. Conditions such as hooding of the upper lid, lower lid bags, and wrinkles around the eyes can all be improved with eyelid surgery. The ideal candidate should be in good health, have realistic expectations, and understand the potential risks and benefits of the procedure. Additionally, the best candidates are non-smokers, as smoking can interfere with healing. Prior to surgery, a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to ensure the necessary qualifications are met, and to discuss the specifics of the procedure. Eyelid surgery can offer a refreshed, youthful look to the upper and lower eyelids, which can help to brighten and open the eyes for a more awake and alert appearance.
