Blepharoplasty

Aesthetically, the eyes are the most important part of the face. Eyes represent the age of an individual and reflect his/her emotional state and, unfortunately, eyes and eyelids show signs of aging earlier than other organs. Plastic surgery on the eyelid that is called "blepharoplasty" is performed to remove excess skin and fat, remove eye bags and in some cases, to trim sagging eyelid skin and the main purpose is to rejuvenate facial skin and appearance.

The eyelid plastic surgery is a cosmetic surgery that is performed to correct eyelid changes and create a younger and happier look. It is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries, which removes excess skin, fat and muscle and corrects the eyelid position; it improves one's appearance significantly and gives a younger and cooler look.
