Understanding Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a precision surgical procedure designed to address aesthetic and functional concerns around the eyelids. This technique effectively removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and lower eyelids, helping patients achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Eyelid Surgery
