Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure used to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. It can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids and addresses problems such as sagging skin, wrinkles and fine lines, puffiness and bags under the eyes. The procedure involves making incisions along the natural lines of the eyelids where excess skin and fat are removed. The incisions are then closed with stitches and the healing process begins. Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks and full results can take several months. The procedure improves the appearance of the eyes, making the person look younger.
