Blepharoplasty

The eyelids are small but delicate structures integral to protecting and maintaining the health of the eye. As we age, the skin thins out, tissues stretch and sag, and the face loses volume. The first place this becomes apparent is often the eyelids. This excess, puffy or lax skin can make you appear more tired or older than you are. Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty can give the eyes a more youthful look by removing excess skin, bulging fat, and lax muscle from the upper eyelids. The excess skin and fat are removed through an incision hidden in the natural eyelid crease, which is then closed with fine sutures. Sagging upper eyelids may also interfere with vision by partially or completely obstructing the pupil. If they do, insurance companies may cover surgery to lift the lids.
