UPPER / LOWER EYEBAG REMOVAL
One of the most frequently performed surgical procedures, upper eyelid blepharoplasty is used to remove the fat deposits, loose skin and drooping on that may form around the upper eyelids with age. Heredity and sun damage can accelerate these changes. Younger people also elect to have this procedure done to eliminate puffiness of the eyes from congenital excess fatty tissue. Because the eyes are the focal point on the face, the procedure may achieve anything from a subtle to dramatic improvement in a person's appearance, depending of the starting point and patient preferences.

Upper lid removal can improve two common problem areas: 1.) excess skin on the upper eyelid itself, often called ‘hooding’ of the upper lid, and 2.) puffiness in the inner corner and middle of the upper eyelid caused by the herniation (pushing forward) of fat.

This procedure is frequently done at the same time as other procedures, such as a lower eyelid removal, facelift or forehead lift, and can be combined with laser or chemical resurfacing to smooth skin wrinkles.
