Watering Eyes (Eyelid Tightening)?

secret_squirrel
In the case of excessive tearing ( not due to any blockages ) what exactly does " retightening of the eyelids " to inprove tear pump action involve ? For example if it involved the upper eyelids would it be something like a blepharoplasty or does it involve tightening the margin of the eyelid also ( reducing the length of the margin ?) A reference web page would be very helpful.
