What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is surgery to remove or reshape excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper or lower eyelids.

With age, eyelid skin stretches and the fat around the eye can bulge. Heavy upper lids can block your upper field of vision, and lower lid bags can make you look tired.

The surgery can improve vision when the lids hang over the eyes, and it can also refresh the appearance of the eyes.
