“A person’s eyes hold a depth in them and say a lot without even saying a single word. So, what about making them more than they already are?”
All of us want big, round and pretty eyes, which have those long, fluttery and fuller eyelashes. We saw celebrities on camera and wondered….How do they always have these perfect and dense eyelashes even when they are wearing almost no makeup?
So, the secret lies in eyelash extensions.
What are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are synthetic or fake lashes that are attached to a person’s natural lashes by using a special adhesive.
What are Eyelash Extensions Made up of?
They are in general made up of synthetic fibres, made of silk, mink and other synthetic materials like them.
Traditional False Lashes or Eyelash Extensions?
For traditional lashes a person could get from markets, they are temporary and need daily application.
On the other hand, eyelash extensions give a fuller and longer look and act like a semi- permanent solution because it lasts for weeks if taken proper care.
Why Does a Person Get an Eyelash Extension Done?
A person gets an eyelash extension when they want their eyelashes to look longer and fuller without using mascara or they want to enhance the look of their natural lashes. The reason is their natural lashes being too small or they don’t feel confident over them. Eyelash extensions also make your eyes look bigger and more attractive.
With the advancement in medical technology and the cosmetic world, we now have various facilities. One of that being Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty.
As much as an eyelash extraction gives you fuller lashes, there are other reasons for your eyes not looking the way you want them to be looking and the fact is eyelash extension is still not a permanent solution and just getting it done will not give you the satisfying and desired results. Let’s discuss it more clearly……
What is Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty?
As a person ages, his features also start to age. Not only that, wrinkles, fine lines, textured skin and loose skin, also come with maturity and increase in age. One of these are baggy eyes too, which people complain about with their increase in age.
The cosmetic- surgical solution is Blepharoplasty.
It is a lower eyelid surgery, done to improve the area around a person’s eyes. It basically helps to get rid of the excess skin and tissues around the eyes.
Why Does Excess Skin Collects Around Eyes With Age?
As a person ages, his/ her skin also ages. This leads to reduction in elasticity in his skin and tissues.
This reduces elasticity when combined with nature’s phenomenon i.e., gravity, leads to extra skin to collect around a person’s lower and upper eyelids.
Why is Blepharoplasty Done?
There could be several reasons a person wants to have cosmetic surgery done. Some of them are mentioned here:
- It helps to alleviate puffiness under the lower eyelid.
- It helps to correct the ptosis of the both upper and lower eyelids that causes drooping skin around the eyes.
- Helps to reduce the look of tired eyes from the lower eyelid.
- Helps to correct the sagging skin around lower eyes that leads to baggy lower lids.
- It combats signs of ageing in a person.
- Aesthetic choices and personal desires of some people, how they want their eyes to look.
While lower eyelid Blepharoplasty means to remove tissue or skin, sometimes the cosmetic surgeon will just reposition the tissues he/ she removed from the eyelid.
Though, it’s in general terms a cosmetic surgery and has nothing to do with improvement of working of eyes but, sometimes a drooping eyelid or sagging skin of the upper eyelid can be an obstruction for a person to see clearly because of skin in the line of vision. So, a Blepharoplasty procedure could also help with this problem.
Another thing to keep in mind is to not expect the reduction or getting rid of dark circles, fine lines or wrinkles around your eyes after this surgery because the surgery and the surgeon doesn’t at all claim to be helping with these issues.
Risks Involved With the Surgery-
Though, the rate of occurrence of these risks is very low, and if you go to an experienced and professional surgeon, there are absolutely no risks and only a gain. Still, it’s only beneficial to know them:
- Bleeding
- Scarring
- Infection
- Dry Eyes
- Inability to fully close your eyes
What we are proposing here is the idea behind having those eyelash extensions done and how they just give you only fuller eyelashes but, if you have other eyelid issues, you definitely can’t expect it from those eyelashes to solve them. For them you can opt for Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty.
