WHAT IS THE PROFILE OF THE IDEAL PATIENT FOR EYELID PLASTY?

For most patients who come for a consultation, it is a question of correcting the drooping of the upper eyelid. It is increased in men by the drooping of the eyebrow, lower than in women. As for the lower eyelids, the occurrence of pockets of fat is due to the relaxation of the muscles.

In a young patient, these may be almost genetic pockets of fat that run in the family and make him look tired even when he is not. Heredity therefore plays a major role in the aging of the eyelids.

The optimal age to intervene is when the defects are permanent and annoying (permanent bags, permanent drooping of the eyelid) without waiting until later!
