Alert, Bright and Captivating: the ABCs of Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. It works by eliminating the heavy, droopy lids that make you look constantly tired, restoring an alert, bright and captivating appearance that matches your inner energy.
Blepharoplasty can:
- Eliminate droopy upper eyelids that may obstruct vision
- Remove under-eye bags and puffiness
- Smooth out wrinkles around the eye area
- Create a more youthful, refreshed appearance
