Blepharoplasty is the name for an entire family of eyelid surgery. Any one operation may include several components. Modern blepharoplasty surgery has expanded well beyond conventional boundaries. Forehead lifts, facelifts, and blepharoplasty have evolved to manage codependent problems. As the aging face sags, certain aspects may stand out and bother you more. However, when concerned about the eyelids, other facial feature may play a significant role and should be considered.

When other facial features are part of the problem, cosmetic eye surgery sometimes is done in part through access from the face. Sometimes facial surgery is partly done through eyelid access.Eyebrow position is very important when considering the upper lids. As the forehead sags, it affects the upper eyelids. Setting the brow position first helps determine if tissues are redundant and cosmetic eye surgery appropriate.
Eyes are a prominent feature of your face. The globes themselves are expressionless. The eyelids and the surrounding skin and muscles express our emotions. Their appearance and movement attract constant attention. Age can show during animation and at rest. Blepharoplasty is a series of different operations for reshaping and adjusting the lids for both cosmetic and functional problems.
The eyelids protect your eyes. The outer covering is skin, the inner layer is lined with mucosa. Muscles close and open the lids. The tarsal plate made of cartilage provides the support for each lid edge. Glands in the lids add some of the secretions to lubricate the eye. Eyelashes also help shield the eye. There is a delicate balance between the different components.
