Eyelid surgery, technically known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure to remove fat and excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids.

 

Blepharoplasty can correct the drooping of the upper eyelids and the bags of the lower ones, characteristics that make us look older and more tired than we are and that, in some cases, can interfere with vision.

​

However, blepharoplasty does not remove "crow's feet" or other wrinkles or drooping eyebrows. It can be performed in isolation or together with other cosmetic surgeries of the face, such as the cervicofacial lift or the frontal lift.
