Blepharoplasty

Plastic surgery

Blepharoplasty is a type of surgery that removes excess skin from the eyelids. As you age, your eyelids stretch and the muscles that support them weaken. As a result, excess fat can build up above and below your eyelids. This causes sagging eyebrows, drooping upper eyelids, and bags under the eyes.

Aside from the aged appearance, significant sagging of the skin around the eyes can reduce side vision (peripheral vision), especially in the upper and outer parts of your visual field. Blepharoplasty can reduce or eliminate these vision problems. The surgery can also make your eyes look younger and more alert.
