Eyelid surgery removes the
loose excess skin and the excess fat from the upper and lower eyelids
as well as the fine wrinkles around the eye. Upper and lower lid
surgery is often performed in one operation.
With
age the skin of the upper and lower eyelids becomes wrinkled and
starts drooping. In some cases the wrinkled folds of skin hooding
the eyelashes on the upper lids disturb vision. The fat surrounding the lower eyelids starts protruding forming puffy bags
under the eyes. Dark circles and bags under the eyes, sagging eyebrows
and the loose eyelid skin can
make you look constantly tired or sad.

Many
factors contribute to the process of premature aging including sun
exposure, stress, smoking, poor diet and nutrition and alcohol consumption.
Usually upper and lower eyelid surgery is done on middle-aged patients.
In case the drooping upper lid skin causes vision impairment,
the operation cost can be partially covered by KELA (Social Insurance
Institution of Finland). Otherwise, eyelid surgery is not refundable.
