Cosmetic eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. It addresses signs of aging such as drooping skin, puffiness, and bags, creating a more youthful, rested appearance.
Types of Eyelid Surgery
- Upper Blepharoplasty: Upper eyelid – Removes excess skin and fat; improves hooded eyes or visual field obstruction
- Lower Blepharoplasty: Lower eyelid – Reduces puffiness, under-eye bags, and loose skin
- Quad Blepharoplasty: Both upper and lower lids – Comprehensive rejuvenation of the entire eye area |
What Eyelid Surgery Can Improve:
- Sagging or hooded upper eyelids
- Under-eye bags or puffiness
- Fine wrinkles and crepey skin around the eyes
- Tired or aged appearance
- Visual field obstruction due to eyelid droop (may be covered by insurance in functional cases)
