The Benefits of Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery can give your eyes a more vibrant, youthful look by redistributing fat and muscle, and when necessary, removing excess skin. The result is:
- Less sagging of the upper eyelids
- Decreased puffiness in the lower eyelids
- Reduction of sagging under the lower eyelids
- Tissue tightening of sagging eyelids
In cases where sagging skin hangs over the upper eyelids, some patients may experience improvements in vision.
