About Eyelid Reduction Treatments
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can be performed for a variety of reasons. Beyond enhancing appearance and restoring functionality, it may also improve vision if excess sagging skin is obstructing the eyes. While it is often carried out to address medical concerns, eyelid surgery is most commonly chosen for cosmetic purposes, such as reducing hooded or heavy eyelids and rejuvenating an aged appearance.
By addressing wrinkles and under-eye bags that can make you look tired or older, blepharoplasty offers a refreshed, youthful, and well-rested look. This procedure typically targets the upper and lower eyelids, including the hollows beneath the eyes and tear troughs.
