Blepharoplasty

Overview

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves extracting extra skin, fat, or muscle to correct the drooping eyelids. A person’s eyelids tend to stretch as they become older, while the muscles that hold them also weaken. Due to this, excess fat may accumulate above and below the eyelids, resulting in sagging brows, drooping upper lids, and bags beneath the eyes.

In addition, the sagging skin around the eyes can diminish side vision or peripheral vision apart from giving you an older appearance. This is mainly in the upper and outer areas of the visual field. These vision issues can be reduced or eliminated with blepharoplasty, making your eyes look younger and alert.
