BlephAroplasty for Inner Corner Hanging Skin?

April 25, 2011
Asked By:AndiP in Pennsylvania

The inner corners of my eyes (where upper lid fold meets inner corner) are starting to have a sagging fold. When I pull up on my eyebrows this problem is fixed...however an eyebrow lift sounds much more radical than an upper bleph. So, will an upper bleph address these hanging folded corners on my inner eyes near my nose? Thanks
