Your eyes are one of the first parts of your face to show signs of aging, such as wrinkles, saggy excess skin, and displaced fat. The skin around your eyes is delicate, and the area is susceptible to stress and exposure to natural elements. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is intended to tighten up the skin and muscle of the eyelids and reduce the amount of excess fat, for an overall revitalizing effect on your facial appearance.
