Upper eyelid surgery is performed to remove an amount of excess skin and fat on upper eyelids. Upper eyelid surgery can be combined with other cosmetic surgeries such as with Brow lift or Face Lift.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower Eyelid Surgery is performed to reduce bagginess from lower eyelid that look tired or worn down. There are two common eyelid surgery approaches; the first one is surgeons make an external incision just below the eyelashes, the second one is an incision is made in the inside of the eyelid which requires a well knowledge of eye structure.
