A blepharoplasty (eye surgery), more commonly referred to as an eyelid lift, focuses on the eyes. Eyes occupy a very prominent part of a person’s facial features. It is however the surrounding skin of the eyes, rather than the eyes themselves, that convey emotion. The muscle, fat, tissue, hair, and lashes all contribute to a very wide array of expressions. Sun exposure, heredity, and age are all factors that contribute to deep fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness around the eyes.
