What is Blepharoplasty is a question which is frequently asked by people looking for a more youthful and rested appearance.

Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure which reshapes the upper or lower eyelid, or both. The indications of this surgery can be both functional and cosmetic. The  results of this procedure can be dramatic in terms of a rejuvenated appearance of the surrounding eye area as well as improvement in various lid abnormality related symptoms.

Various abnormalities of the lid including drooping, sagging and fatty deposits can be corrected througha combination of surgical and laser procedures. Often symptoms like foreign body sensation, impaired peripheral vision, heaviness of eyelids, and excessive watering of the eyes may also be relieved by the procedure.

The indications for blepharoplasty include loose or sagging skin which alters the natural contour of the upper or lower eyelid, sometimes impairing vision, bags under the eyes, fatty deposits, puffiness of eyelids and wrinkles. There are no clear cut guidelines for when blepharoplasty should be performed, it depends of an individuals perception of the need to undergo plastic surgery and the treating surgeons decision to operate. Most surgeons, however, are of the view that an early intervention often results in a better post operative outcome.
