My eyelids feel heavy...Actually, that might be a sign of sagging.

Hello, I'm Takashi Nakao from BIANCA CLINIC.

"Feeling like your eyes are hard to open?" "Noticing your eyes look dull?" — These concerns may be related to sagging around your temples and upper eyelids.

This time, we'll introduce cases of temple lifts while explaining the causes of heavy eyelids and methods to make the eye area look refreshed.

 

 

Why do my eyelids feel heavy?

まぶたが重いと悩む男性

As you age, the skin on your upper eyelids may sag, making the eyelids themselves feel heavy.

Not only the eyelid muscles, but also the sagging of the skin around the temples affects how wide the eyes open.

For those who experience discomfort such as "difficulty opening their eyes" or "makeup not sitting well," a lift-up procedure can be one option.

 

【Case Study】Temple Lift for a Refreshed Eye Area

The patient we're introducing this time was also troubled by heavy eyelids.

The temple lift lifts the skin from the outer corners of the eyes to the temples, improving the appearance of the upper eyelids and the openness of the eyes.

As you can see, some patients may appear sharp and defined like "Foxy eyes" immediately after surgery, but the direction and strength of the lift can be adjusted according to the degree of sagging and your preferences.

Many people find that the heaviness around their eyes lessens, making it easier to open their eyes.

Temple Lift Downtime and Aftercare

You may experience a tight sensation immediately after the temple lift procedure, but in most cases, this subsides within about a month.

Facial cleansing and skincare can be resumed the next day or later, but we ask that you wait about one month before undergoing laser treatments or deeper procedures.

Additionally, when performing additional procedures around the temples,Leave it for more than six monthsThat would be ideal.

 

Summary|Heavy eyelids aren't always caused by issues around the eyes alone

"My eyelids feel heavy..." The cause isn't necessarily limited to the area around your eyes.

A temple lift is an option for those who wish to achieve a refreshed look around the entire eye area or regain a youthful appearance.

If you're seeking fundamental improvement, please consult Bianca Clinic first.

We will provide recommendations tailored to your condition and concerns.
