Blepharoplasty: Eyelid surgery is a procedure used to treat excess skin and/or fat on the upper and lower lids, via surgical excision. Aside from a cosmetic indication, there may also be medical indications for the procedure, including improvement of obscured vision, lid tightening, and treatment for congenital or acquired abnormalities.

Surgery of eyelid: Eyelid surgery includes many possible procedures ranging from blepharoplasty where excess skin or fatty tissue is removed to ptosis repair where the eyelid margin itself is lifted to improve vision and symmetry of the eyelids.

Refreshing the lids: Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery usually removes the extra or redundant skin and fat from the upper and lower lids. Great care is taken to not remove excessive skin or fat so the lids function and appear refreshed. www.artofplasticsurgery.com.
