Blepharoplasty
What Is Blepharoplasty?
The eyes are the most expressive part of the face. Droopy eyelids give a face a haggard and tired appearance. It makes one look old and worn-out.
Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Rejuvenation is a procedure that helps to remove and tighten excess eyelid skin for a more alert and youthful appearance. Sometimes Blepharoplasty can also help to improve your vision by providing a less obstructed field of view, once droopy eyelids are improved.
Blepharoplasty can give you a younger, fresher look and a healthier feel. It can be performed on upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both at the same time.
