Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of aging around the eyes. According to 2014 national statistics, over 80 percent of women have undergone this transformative eye surgery to refresh their appearance and restore a youthful aesthetic.
