BLEPHAROPLASTY PROCEDURE

Eyelid surgery, otherwise known as blepharoplasty, is a type of surgery that alters the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both. The procedure aims to improve the appearance of the area surrounding the eyes and to improve vision obscured by drooping eyelids.

Blepharoplasty can be used to alter:

• Draping skin that obscures or blocks your vision

• Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid – this can sometimes affect a person’s vision 

• Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness beneath the eyelid skin

• Bags under the eyes 

• Droopiness of the lower eyelids – to avoid showing white below the iris 

• Extra skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid.
