What is Upper Eyelid Surgery?
Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and, in some cases, fat from the upper eyelids. The treatment helps restore a more refreshed, youthful appearance and can also improve vision if sagging skin interferes with sight.
Common reasons for treatment include:
-
Drooping or sagging upper eyelids
-
Excess skin creating a tired appearance
-
Impaired vision due to overhanging skin
-
Desire for a more defined eyelid contour
Each treatment is individually adapted based on anatomy, aesthetic goals, and overall health
