Eyelid

Are you tired of your eyes not reflecting how you feel on the inside? Do you feel like puffy circles are the only thing people notice on you? Creams don’t work, cucumbers and tea bags are a myth, and no amount of sleep can cure it either. And while there are ways of trying to reduce them through diet and sleep, only a procedure known as blepharoplasty can cure them.

This procedure is performed to reduce or remove “bags” below the eyes and sagging upper lids. It removes excess skin, fat or muscle from the upper and lower eyelids.

While mainly a cosmetic procedure, eyelid surgery can also alleviate a medical condition known as ptosis, or drooping eyelid, which can interfere in vision and give you an appearance of sleepiness that is only correctable through this procedure.
