Blepharoplasty is a small surgical procedure that eliminates the excess skin on the upper and lower parts of the eye and those sagging pockets under the eyes. Such condition usually leaves the patient’s face looking old and sagging. Blepharoplasty represents an anti-aging rejuvenating treatment for the entire face.

Description

As you age, your eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them weaken. As a result, excess fat may gather above and below your eyelids, causing sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids and bags under your eyes.

Besides making you look older, severely sagging skin around your eyes can reduce your side vision (peripheral vision), especially the upper and outer parts of your field of vision. Blepharoplasty can reduce or eliminate these vision problems and make your eyes appear younger and more alert.
