Upper Eyelid Lift or Upper Blepharoplasty can awaken tired eyes

Upper Eyelid hooding caused by excess upper eyelid skin can give you a tired look. Upper Blepharoplasty, often called an eye lift or eyelid lift can remove the hooding and make the eyes appear more bright and alert. Be certain that your doctor examines you for Ptosis. Ptosis is an eyelid droop caused by a muscle problem and the Blepharoplasty will not correct Ptosis. Ptosis is often referred to as "bedroom eyes."
