Eyelid Surgery
Eye surgery or blepharoplasty is one of the most popular surgical procedures. Fat is removed along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids to lift drooping upper lids and reduce ‘eye bags’ that form beneath the eyes. This procedure can knock years off you by making the eyes look younger and firmer, reducing a hooded appearance or removing under eye pouches.
