Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure whose purpose is to remove excess skin and muscle from the eyelids, both upper and lower, as well as the underlying fatty tissue. Blepharoplasty can improve sagging skin and bags, and can help improve vision in older people who have a significant excess of the upper eyelid that falls over the pupil. Although it can create a crease in the upper lid of an Asian-type eye, it will not erase evidence of racial/ethnic traits. Blepharoplasty does not eliminate “crow's feet” or other wrinkles, or dark “eye circles”, nor does it lift drooping eyebrows.
