We usually make eye contact when we talk, especially so at the first meeting. Baggy /drooping eyelids, especially in the presence of good firm cheeks, make a person look older than he or she actually is. Some have to even put up with unpleasant comments like ‘Are you tired?’ , ’Have you not slept well?’ etc.

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic correction of such eyelids that can tighten the skin around the eyes for a more youthful appearance. This procedure is done for upper and/or lower eyelids.

• It addresses the bulges/bags under the eyes.
  
• Improve vision for those whose upper eyelids are drooping low enough to interfere with their eyesight.
