Tyra SmithBlepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a procedure surgically performed on either the lower or upper eyelid to enhance the skin’s appearance around the eye. For the upper eyelid, eye surgery is used to improve droopy or redundant skin that appears on the upper eyelid extending to the forehead. As we get older, the eyelid’s skin loses its elasticity. Also, the structures which support the forehead’s skin weaken, which can lead to excess skin that can hang past the edge of the brow. The fat and the muscles of the upper eyelid can alter with age, leading to an unappealing bulge.
