Understanding Blepharoplasty: Precision Eyelid Rejuvenation
As you age, the skin around your eyes stretches and supporting muscles weaken. Drooping upper eyelids and puffiness under lower lids can make you appear tired and older. Beyond aesthetic concerns, sagging skin may even restrict peripheral vision, making blepharoplasty a functional and cosmetic solution.
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a sophisticated procedure designed to enhance the appearance of eyelids while addressing functional vision concerns. This delicate surgery can be performed on upper lids, lower lids, or both, depending on individual patient needs.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery
