Baggy Eyelids Removal Pain and Recovery

You can go home the same day, with two small strips of bandage over your stitches to protect them. These can be removed a few days later, when your stitches come out. Your eyelids will ache initially but the pain should not be severe. If it is, call a doctor, as there may be internal bleeding. (more…)

Blepharoplasty is the technical name for correction of baggy eyelids and it is almost as commonly carried out as rhinoplasty (nose correction). The sagging of skin around the upper and lower eyelids is one of the natural signs of ageing and, if pronounced, may be particularly distressing to those who are very conscious of their appearance. It can, however, occur much earlier in life, due to an inherited disposition, but have much the same impact: that is, you feel you look old well before your time. (more…)

For sparkling bright beauties, start with the right tools:

• Several small, round-tipped sable brushes for applying color to lids, under lower lashes; also essential for blending.
• Flat, fan-shaped brush to apply more than a single color at a time or to cover large areas with bright shadows.
• Eyelash/eyebrow brush. This handy duo does two jobs: one side smooths brows, the little comb on the other side separates lashes. What not to use: a pin, a bent paperclip, a comb handle; any of these could slip, causing serious eye damage.
• Cotton powderpuff to “set” eye makeup with translucent powder.
• Large, fluffy brush to remove excess translucent powder.

Then, slowly and in eight definite steps, close your eyes by bringing the lower lids up to the upper, all the while looking into the mirror until the very last moment. Hold this position with your eyes tightly shut for four counts, then release in the same eight definite steps. Repeat four times. Once you can control these movements in definite steps, you are ready to go on to the toughy that really does the work. (more…)
