Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Depending on the time, with the effects of aging, substances like collagen, which make our skin tight, alive and young, decrease or lose their function.
The eyebrows and eyelids are also affected by this condition. The skin in these areas becomes loose and sags.
Additionally, bagging can occur due to the herniation of fatty tissue, especially in the lower eyelids.
Downward eyebrows, droopy eyelids, bags under the eyes can make the person look tired, unhappy and older.
However, sagging eyelids can also become a problem that can prevent vision. With eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), it is possible to remove excess skin on the eyelids and remove bags under the eyes.
Through eyelid surgery, people can have a younger, happier look and a lively gaze.
In addition, it is possible to eliminate vision problems associated with sagging eyelid.
