Eyelid surgery ( blepharoplasty) involves removing the excess fat , muscle and skin tissue in the upper and lower eyelids, stretching periocular regions that support these tissues. This surgical intervention allows correcting saggy, turned-in or turned-out upper and lower eyelids, eye bags forming due to the trapped excess fat and wrinkles around the eyes, and giving the patient a more youthful and energetic look by getting rid of their former old and tired appearance.
