Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)
Over time, the skin around the eyes can sag, leading to droopy eyelids or puffy bags beneath the eyes. This can not only makes a person look older or chronically tired but can also obstruct vision. An eyelid lift can brighten the facial appearance, making one look more youthful and refreshed.

How a blepharoplasty works
During a blepharoplasty, incisions are carefully made within the natural creases of the eyelids. Excess fat and skin are then removed or repositioned to give a refreshed appearance. The incisions are camouflaged within the natural creases of your lids and are closed with sutures which are removed after a week.
