Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) is a procedure that removes excess skin (bags) around the eyes, leaving a younger and refreshed appearance.

Your eyes are your most important facial feature. They are what people notice first when they meet you and the feature they focus on the most. Eyes are often described as windows of the soul and the appearance of our eyes is highly important to us as individuals. How our eyes look plays a large role in how attractive and young we feel. We all age differently, some age faster than others and some appear to have found the fountain of youth, but unfortunately time catches up to all of us and muscles weaken and skin loses its elasticity.

Over time, the skin around the eyes crease, muscles weaken, and can eventually develop heavy folds that effect vision. The changes in the skin elasticity around the eyes come about for a number of reasons:

• Heredity is an important factor
• Facial shape can also factor into the equation
• Sun and ultraviolet rays can cause damage around the eye
• Aging

By having a Blepharoplasty, excess skin and bags will be removed which can improve many elasticity issues. This procedure will not remove all creases. If all creases were removed it would create excess tension on the eyelids.
