Blepharoplasty: what is it?
A Blepharoplasty is a "lift" of the eyelids. It is a surgical procedure that will address both the upper and lower eyelids. It is mainly done to remove excess skin from the upper and the lower eyelids.
Upper Blepharoplasty: the incision is made in the natural crease of the eyelid and will remove the "hanging" skin that you can see on some people (as we get older the skin stretches and can cover the eyes). the incision is closed with very thin sutures that...

Blepharoplasty makes a patient’s eyes look well rested and open without looking like a “deer caught in the headlights.”
During an upper blepharoplasty, extra skin from the upper eyelids is excised and fat in the area of the upper eyelid closest to the nose is removed to decrease puffiness. The goal for the lower eyelids is to remove the puffiness and bags on the lower lids.
Blepharoplasty is a common operation that creates a restorative and youthful look to the eyes.

Upper Eyelid Rejuvenation with Blepharoplasty
Excessive or 'redundant' upper eyelid skin is a very typical aging change that leads people to seek eyelid surgery. In many patients, this surgery can be performed under light sedation with local anesthesia as an outpatient office procedure. In a few cases, protruding fat behind the eyelids is also removed. As with most facial aging changes, no two people present with exactly the same eyelid concerns. Surgical treatment is therefore individualized to the needs of each individual...

Blepharoplasty is the medical term for aesthetic eyelid surgery. Essentially it is the manipulation of the tissues of the eyelids to create a more aesthetic and youthful look. This usually involves the skin, fat and muscle surrounding the orbit. The desired affect is smooth skin without any bags or deep crevices. The evaluation is unique for each patient.

Blepharoplasty improves your looks
Blepharoplasty or surgery of the eyes is one of my favorite surgeries. By removing excess skin and fat from the surrounding eye area, the whole face is rejuvenated. The operation takes about an hour and a half to do (this depends on who's doing it). The recovery is within a week. You can wear make up at a week and go back to full activity in approximately 4 weeks. Most people return to work in 7 to 8 days.
Good luck

Blepharoplasty rejuvenates eyelids
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and muscle from both the upper and lower eyelids. Underlying fatty tissue that produces bagginess can be selectively removed or repositioned. Blepharoplasy can improve drooping skin and bagginess. It can improve vision in older patients who have hooding of their upper eyelids.. Blepharoplasty will not remove "crow's feet" or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under the eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows.

Goals of upper and lower lid surgery differ
Upper lid blepharoplasty is the single most rejuvinating surgery for the face that there is. It removes extra skin and sometimes extra fat and produces a rested refreshed look. It does not lift the eyebrows however.
Lower lid surgery is more complex and carries more risk. It is primarily good for the removal or redistribution of buldgy fat bags. It is not for significant skin excision. Often the main problem is tear trough formation which can be effectively treated with Restylane...

Blepharoplasty explained
Upper and lower blepharoplasty are very different procedures for different types of problems. Upper eyelids frequently develop marked laxity of the skin with significant excess skin drooping. Correction of this problem is frequently just removal of the excess skin and occasionally minimal removal of some fat pad protrusion. The lower lid is more complex. Here the problem is often bulging (pseudo-herniation) of fat pads, muscle weakness, and skin laxity. Frequently the lower lid repair...

Simply put, the goal of blepharoplasty is to make your eyes look more refreshed.
In the upper eyelid, this requires removing the droopy skin between your upper lashes and brow, so that your upper eyelid skin is visible even with your eyes open.
In the lower lid, droopy skin can also be removed along with fat bulges.
The end result is tighter, less crepe skin and flat contours.

Blepharoplasty can improve your appearance
Great question. As an extremely busy eyelid surgeon I perhaps up to 15-20 eyelids surgeries every month. This procedure often removes extra loose skin and bulging fat around the eyes. Excess tissue around the eyes can make you look tired or even angry looking. It may also even partially obstruct your vision. Recovery can vary and not all patients are good candidates.
