Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery, technically known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure to remove excess fat, skin, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty can correct drooping upper eyelids and bags under the eyes, features that make us look older and more tired than we are and, in some cases, can interfere with vision. However, blepharoplasty does not eliminate "crow's feet" or other wrinkles, nor does it address drooping eyebrows. It can be performed on its own or in conjunction with other facial cosmetic surgeries, such as a neck lift or brow lift. If you are considering blepharoplasty, you will receive basic information about the surgery, when it is indicated, how it is performed, and what results can be expected. However, it is impossible to answer all your questions, as they largely depend on personal factors and the preferences of the plastic surgeon. If you don't understand something, consult with your plastic surgeon.
