Blepharoplasty

Procedure Description

Blepharoplasty corrects skin laxity and 'bags' under the eyes, which give a tired and aged appearance. The procedure involves removing excess skin and removing or redistributing fat, restoring a youthful and rested look to the eyes. It is usually performed under local anesthesia and does not require hospitalization.
