Blepharoplasty is the medical term for eyelid surgery. It helps to remove excess fat or skin from your eyelids, which can be beneficial for anyone who has saggy skin around this part of the face. If you find that people are constantly remarking that you look tired and depressed, an upper eyelid lift can help to brighten up your appearance and make your look more awake.

Blepharoplasty Overview
Blepharoplasty is a type of surgery that will repair droopy eyelids and/or excessive eye bags. The surgery removes excess fat, muscle, and skin. As you get older, your eyelids will stretch, and this causes the muscles that support them to get weaker. This can cause bags under your eyes, as well as droopy upper lids and sagging eyebrows.
Not only does it make you look older than you are, but sagging skin can also impact your vision. It especially impacts your peripheral vision, which is your side vision. Therefore, opting to have blepharoplasty is not just about your appearance, but it can enhance your quality of life as well.
Blepharoplasty Cost
The average cost of blepharoplasty in 2019 in the United States is $3,282. This is according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. However, do note that this cost only accounts for part of the total price. It does not factor in operating room facilities, anesthesia, and other related expenses.
