Overview

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) is the plastic surgery operation for correcting defects, deformities, and disfigurations of the eyelids and aesthetically modifying the eye region of the face.

Blepharoplasty

Introduction

With age, the eyelids stretch and the supporting muscles weaken resulting in excess fat gathering above and below the eyelids. This further causes sagging of eyebrows, droopy upper eyelids, or eye bags. In some cases, it also reduces peripheral vision. This leads to a tired or depressed look making the person feel older than actually is. Eyelid surgery, medically known as Blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to improve the appearance of the upper, lower, or both eyelids.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty or Eyelid surgery is a type of surgery that repairs droopy eyelids and may involve removing excess skin, muscle, and fat.

In some patients, upper eyelid droops close to the pupil. In such cases, a procedure known as ptosis correction  is performed along with blepharoplasty. Ptosis correction  helps provide the eyebrow muscles, an extra support.
