Who this may help
A healthy adult with upper-eyelid heaviness, lower-lid bags, or related concerns may be considered after an eye and facial examination.
Eyelid Surgery
Features considered in proportion—not in isolation.
Blepharoplasty can address upper-lid heaviness, lower-lid bags, and excess skin around the eyes. The amount and location of skin or fat are evaluated carefully because the eyes are central to expression and small changes can have a noticeable effect.
