Upper Blepharoplasty Before and After

SURGERY OF THE EYELID BLEPHAROPLASTY Eyelid surgery, technically called blepharoplasty, is a procedure to remove fat, usually along with excess skin, from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes-- features that make you look older and more tired than you feel; in fact, these may even interfere with your vision. This procedure won't remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. While it can add an upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes, it will not erase evidence of your or your racial heritage. Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as facelift or browlift. Blepharoplasty is popular in personÕs 35-65 years old. For those over 65 years of age, medicare sometimes covers this procedure if an opthalmologist documents visual obstruction from the upper lid overhanging the eyelid.
