What does a blepharoplasty do?

Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (blepharoplasty) removes the excess fat and wrinkled drooping skin of the upper eyelids that can make you look sad or tired. It also eliminates bags under your eyes and tightens your lower eyelid skin. The result is a more rested and alert appearance.

If you don't have the time, energy, or resources for a full facelift, a blepharoplasty can frequently provide you a cost-effective and quick spark.
