Say goodbye to droopy and puffy eyelids
What is Eyelid Procedure (Blepharoplasty)?
People with droopy eyes, sagging skin near the eyes, under-eye bags, dark circles, etc., benefit from cosmetic procedures like blepharoplasty. The treatment involves making incisions on your upper or lower eyelid to remove the excess skin. The results are returning to the normal shape of eyes that look younger.
Based on what issue the candidate is facing, surgeons determine whether they will benefit from an upper or lower eyelid surgery. Sometimes, both surgeries may be combined if the candidates need extensive treatment.
