Eyelid Aesthetics

What is Eyelid Aesthetics?

This surgical procedure, also known as eyelid aesthetics or blepharoplasty, is performed by removing excess skin, fat and muscle tissue from the upper and lower eyelids.
In this way, the eyes gain a more vibrant and youthful appearance, and the tired and aged expression disappears.

Why Eyelid Aesthetics?
