In orden to provide you with complete information on blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) I did some research on the internets most reputable health sites.

But before reading this article I recommed you to dont miss this article that is intended for future blepharosplasty patients.

Eyelid skin is the thinnest skin on your face and is likely to be the first facial feature to reveal signs of aging. Wrinkled folds of skin on the upper eyelids, bags under the eyes and sagging eyebrows can make a person look older, tired or sad. Plastic surgery can reshape the eyelid area and improve appearance.

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that removes excess folds of skin in the upper lids and pouches under the eyes (lower lids). Whether to improve your appearance, your vision, or both, reconstructive surgery usually produces a very pleasing effect and gives you a more rested, youthful look. Sometimes, blepharoplasty is accompanied by a procedure known as a brow lift. Blepharoplasty can be performed on one eyelid or on both. These procedures are generally performed by a plastic surgeon.

Your eyes are an expressive feature – one that people notice first – and your eyelids are part of that feature. The eyes are also the first of our features to show signs of age. As skin around the eye area ages, excess folds appear in the upper and lower lids. (2)

Combined Procedures and Blepharoplasty

This medical procedure can be done alone or in conjunction with other plastic facial surgery procedures such as a facelift.
