What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty or eyelid correction is a surgical procedure to remove skin and to add or remove fat from the eyelids. Sometimes the term “eyelid lift” is used for this technique, which is not accurate as the procedure does not lift the eyelids, but creates an eyelid crease when upper blepharoplasty surgery is done. Lower eyelid surgery is done through a transconjunctival approach which can be done by without any visible incisions and helps people who want to add or remove fat from under the lower eyelids. People who are looking for superior cosmetic effects can integrate this procedure with laser resurfacing to reduce aging signs like wrinkles and lines.

Why is eyelid surgery performed?

If you have indications like puffy eyes, lines and wrinkles or heavy eyelids, they can be corrected effectively by removing the extra skin and fat cells which cause these problems. Upper blepharoplasty also improves the field of vision.

A crease can be created in the upper eyelid with the help of double eyelid surgery. This procedure is famous among people of East Asia who want to open up their eyes and give a westernized look to their eyes.

Lower blepharoplasty helps when you want to give up the excess skin and refine the contour of the eyelid. The surgeon may sometimes tighten the eyelid if the patient wants a solution for sagging eyelids.
