Blepharoplasty (BLEF-uh-roe-plas-tee) is a type of surgery that removes excess skin from the eyelids. Blepharoplasty is a kind of surgery performed on the eyelids. It’s done to remove excess skin from the upper eyelids and reduce bagginess from the lower eyelids. Recovery from blepharoplasty is relatively short compared with other types of surgeries.Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, aims to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both. Blepharoplasty cannot lift sagging eyebrows or get rid of crow's feet or dark circles. Lower blepharoplasty can reshape or remove the fat while tightening the skin around the eyes. This results in a brighter, more rested, and more youthful appearance. Upper blepharoplasty can eliminate loose skin and fat above the eye.
