Blepharoplasty – also commonly known as “eyelid surgery” – is widely recognized for its aesthetic benefits. Particularly when administered by a seasoned plastic surgeon, eyelid surgery can dramatically rejuvenate the area of the face surrounding the eyes. A skilled physician can use blepharoplasty techniques to address various age-related cosmetic concerns, from excess skin to under-eye circles and more.
With that being said, many patients don’t realize that eyelid surgery can offer another benefit: improved vision. Upper blepharoplasty, which focuses primarily on the upper eyelids, is characterized by the reduction and tightening of redundant skin, fat, and tissue that may be drooping over the eyes. While eyelid surgery is generally considered a cosmetic procedure, patients who undergo upper blepharoplasty can frequently enjoy a visual field enhancement, as well.*
