What is "blepharoplasty"?

Blepharoplasty is a procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the eyelids. It involves removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and sometimes the lower eyelids to restore a youthful appearance to the area around the eyes. Blepharoplasty is chosen by individuals wanting to reduce drooping eyelids, puffiness, or wrinkles around the eyes, which can give a more youthful and healthy appearance. Recovery from blepharoplasty typically involves some swelling and bruising, and most patients can return to normal activities after a week or two. The final results of the surgery show smoother, more refreshed eyelids with improved shape.
