Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. It removes excess skin, fat, and muscle to reduce drooping or puffiness, contributing to a more youthful look. This surgery can also enhance vision obstructed by sagging eyelids. It is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation and involves small incisions. Recovery time varies, but most people return to normal activities within a week. While primarily cosmetic, blepharoplasty can also address functional issues related to vision, making it a beneficial procedure for many.
