Eye Lift Surgery

Eye Lift Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Drooping or sagging skin around the eyes is the cause of many tired, worn out appearances. Bags under the eyes and skin drooping down over the eyes has a negative impact on all of the other facial features. This problem can make you look as though you are in a constant state of anger. In more severe cases, the excess skin may even block the peripheral vision. Reading, driving, writing are just a few activities that can be impaired by drooping skin around the eyes.

Eyelift surgery (also known as blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery) is increasingly becoming one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures, particularly as the baby boomers age. The goal of the surgery is to remove the excess skin around the eyes and create a more refreshed, youthful appearance. Depending on individual circumstances, some may opt to have lower eyelift surgery and others may choose a non-surgical eyelift.
