Eyelid surgery is also known as a blepharoplasty. It involves removing excess skin and fat from around the eyelids. It can also correct droopy eyelids. The natural aging process can cause droopy eyelids and sagging skin. However, it is also important to note that these problems can develop due to lifestyle factors. Exposure to the sun is an example of one of the things that can cause sagging skin and droopy eyelids.
The number of people getting eyelid surgery is increasing. Most of the patients getting eyelid surgery are over the age of 55. A plastic surgeon can perform a blepharoplasty on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both. There are a number of benefits that can be reaped from getting eyelid surgery. Below is a list of some of those benefits:
