Blepharoplasty, also known as upper or lower eyelid surgery, helps patients who have puffy, droopy eyelids or deep, bulging bags under the eyes by removing the excess fat, skin, and tissue. Eyelid surgery can help patients who appear tired from sagging eyelids or sad from under eye bags, a common problem in adults over 35 years old in America.

This can help patients regain a youthful, more alert appearance with eyelid surgery, sometimes called an eyelid tuck. For some patients, having the excess skin from the upper eyelids can help some patients improve their field of vision in addition to their overall refreshed appearance.

Blepharoplasty addresses sagging skin and excess fat, creating creases, folds, and wrinkles on and around the upper eyelid. The redundant skin is removed, and fatty tissue is repositioned to achieve a younger, more rested appearance. In cases where the excess skin is significant enough to obstruct sight, an upper eyelid lift can even improve vision.
