Eyelid Surgery

The eyes account for a large part of the human face; they project an array of emotions. The contour of the skin, muscle and fat tissues as well as hair and eyelashes that convey expression. Exposure to the sun and genetic factors affect these tissues, and can result in changes in expressions causing an older, sad or tires look.

Wrinkles and deep lines as well as puffiness of the lids begin to develop with the passage of time. If severe, these changes can actually impair vision.

Eyelid surgery, or blepahroplasty, can correct sagging eyelids, pouches beneath the eyes and excess folds around the eyes. This surgical procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat on the upper and lower eyelids and is often done in conjunction with other surgical procedures, such as facelift, eyebrow and forehead lift.
