Why Do You Need Blepharoplasty?

The eyelid surgery is designed to restructure and reshape the eyelid by re-positioning or removing excess tissue. There are 2 types of eyelid surgery namely:

• Upper Eyelid Surgery: This surgery is used to improve vision loss and appearance of the eye which is due to aging or can be hereditary. This surgery is specifically focused on upper eyelid which can restore both appearance and function in most of the cases. It is usually performed through external incisions made along the natural lines of the eyelids.
• Lower Eyelid Surgery: This surgery is more focused towards removal of the wrinkles and correction of baggy eyes around the lower lid of the eyes. Lower Eyelid surgery is done through an incision below the lash line so that the scar is almost inconspicuous.
