Blepharoplasty
(eyelid surgery)
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids for a more youthful appearance. Ideal for those with excess skin due to ageing or genetics, eyelid surgery can also improve your vision if your field of vision is being obstructed.
