Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty, also known as “eyelid surgery”, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the removal, or repositioning of excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This surgery can help to reduce puffiness and sagging skin around the eyes, giving a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance to your face in general.
