Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
A tired or aged appearance around eyes often determines the first impression a person makes. The eye area is one of the first areas to show the signs of aging.
Many men and women suffer from droopy or hooded eyelids, either due to aging, heredity or both. The same is true of the wrinkles, puffiness and fat bulges that can develop in the lower eyelids.
Eyelid surgery is a procedure to remove fat usually along with exsess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids.
Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids abd puffy bags below you eyes, and may even interfere with your vision. It also can add an upper eyelids crease to Asian eyes.
