What is Eyelid Surgery / Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, or eye-lid surgery is a type of surgery that removes excess skin from the eyelids. With age, eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them weaken. As a result, excess skin and fat can gather above and below your eyelids. This can cause sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids and bags under the eyes.
Blepharoplasty – Eyelid surgery is the gold standard to correct eyelid hooding, sagging, bulging and tired-looking eyes. During a short operation (normally between 1 and 3 hours), excess skin and/or fat is removed from the upper and/or lower eyelids to create a fresher and more youthful look.

How do we treat it?
By making an incision along the natural skin lines of the eyelid, it is possible to cut away skin and fat tissues and leave only fine, discreet scars along the natural skin crease of the eye. Upper eyelids that have a lot of excess skin can cause functional problems to the eye by causing a loss of peripheral vision, especially in the outer and upper parts of the visual field. Lower eyelid surgery helps diminish those lower eyelid ‘bags’ and excess skin. Blepharoplasty restores the natural beauty of the eye, as well as your field of vision. Having excess skin and fat removed will make the eyelid look smoother, more youthful and improve peripheral vision while reducing the fatigue associated with it. During surgery, chemical peels or laser treatments could be used to enhance the healing process and improve the appearance of your skin.
