What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids to enhance their appearance and functionality. This procedure can be performed on the:

  • Upper Eyelids: To correct sagging skin or drooping that may impair vision.

  • Lower Eyelids: To address puffiness, under-eye bags, and loose skin.


Eyelid Scar Correction

Scarring on the eyelids can result from trauma, previous surgeries, or conditions affecting the skin. Eyelid scar correction focuses on minimizing the visibility of scars while improving the overall appearance and function of the eyelid.

Goals of Eyelid Scar Correction:

  • Smooth and soften the texture of scars.

  • Reduce redness or discoloration.

  • Restore natural eyelid contours and functionality.
