There are days when the mirror reveals a tired appearance that does not match a good night's sleep. The gaze seems heavy, skin accumulates on the eyelids, and the bags under the eyes become more noticeable. Creams and makeup can improve the appearance, but in some cases, the change is related to the structure of the eye area itself.
This is where blepharoplasty comes in, a surgery that removes or repositions tissues around the eyes to treat changes in the eyelids. Although primarily known for its rejuvenating effect, the procedure can also serve a functional purpose.
In some people, excess skin in the upper area can even compromise the visual field or cause a sensation of heaviness and effort to keep the eyes open. In certain patients, besides rejuvenating the gaze, the surgery reduces the weight of the eyelids and can improve visual comfort.
