What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the removal or repositioning of skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the eyelids. The goal is to restore a more youthful and rested appearance to the eyes. This surgery can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both. It is particularly beneficial for those who have:

  1. Excess, drooping skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision.
  2. Puffy appearance in the upper eyelids caused by excess fatty deposits.
  3. Bags under the eyes, which are often a cosmetic concern and a sign of aging.
  4. Droopiness of the lower eyelids, showing white below the iris.
  5. Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid.

  2. Improved Appearance: Eyelid surgery helps patients look more alert and youthful. By addressing problems like sagging eyelids and under-eye bags, blepharoplasty can dramatically improve one’s facial aesthetics.
