Dr. David J. Wages offers eye lift surgery, or blepharoplasty, in Peabody, MA, to enhance the appearance and function of the eyelids. This procedure can rejuvenate the area around the eyes by treating loose or sagging skin that creates folds, obstructing natural eyelid contours and sometimes impairing vision. Blepharoplasty addresses issues such as puffiness, under-eye bags, drooping lower lids, and excess skin or fine wrinkles on the lower eyelids. Surgery can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both, based on individual needs.
