Blepharoplasty, which is Eyelid Surgery, is a surgical procedure to remove excess eyelid skin that is impairing eyesight. The surgery involves the removal of excessive upper eyelid tissue. This procedure can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids, depending on its nature and severity. The excess tissue is removed by external incisions along the creases of the upper eyelids or below the lashes of the lower eyelids. As you heal the incisions will no longer be noticeable as they fit within the crease of your eyelids.
