If you are experiencing functional problems with your upper eyelids causing drooping that may be affecting your vision, a surgical procedure known as Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Surgery could possibly correct your condition.
Eyelid Surgery is a surgical procedure performed to correct the appearance of the loose or sagging skin that can shroud or “hood” the eyes causing you to look older and tired. This surgery can be performed on either the upper and lower lids, or both. Whether you want to improve your appearance or correct problems with your eyelids, eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the area surrounding your eyes.
