A Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure performed on either the upper or lower eyelids to improve ones appearance around the eyes. There are many reasons to consider a Blepharoplasty including a perpetually tired appearance, wrinkling, too much fat around the eye, shadows or dark circles and even obstruction of vision due to the excess skin blocking ones field of vision.

There are many differences between the upper and lower eyelids and treatment of the two require different approaches. The problems of the upper lids are generally one of stretched, loose or excess skin and muscle, which can hang down onto the eyelashes and below causing a tired and aged look as well as blocking a portion of the visual fields.

The problem of the lower eyelids is most commonly one of too much fat behind the eyelid, which pushes outward. This creates a mound or a pillow under the eye and since most light comes from above us, this causes a shadow beneath that fat pad. This gives the appearance of dark circles under the eyelid, which is perceived as making one look tired. Fatty accumulation can also affect the upper lids as well. Both the upper and lower eyelids can also be plagued with wrinkles due to years of sun exposure, the aging process and smoking. These too, can be successfully treated.
