Eyelid surgery (also known medically as Blepharoplasty or surgery of the eyelids) is a cosmetic procedure for removing fat and excess skin from around the upper and lower eyelids. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, Eyelid Surgery is one of the top 5 most popular forms of Plastic Surgery. The procedure is very popular for people with drooping or puffy eyelids. This procedure will not remove crow's feet or wrinkles around the eyes. There are alternative procedures for removing wrinkles like a brow lift, a meso-lift, or thermage be sure to ask a qualified doctor or Ophthalmologist for more details and options for your specific case. BOTOX Cosmetic injections are the most popular form of temporary relief for crow's feet around the eyes at this time.
