Some patients experience heavy drooping eye lids or hooding, whilst others find they have developed eye bags or dark circles under the eyes as they’ve aged. Eye bags and dark circles are caused by muscle laxity which allows the fatty tissues that surround the eyes to protrude or hollow.
These issues can be corrected with a blepharoplasty procedure. There are normally two elements to a blepharoplasty: upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery. These can be performed together, as individual procedures, or even in combination with a facelift to enhance the overall results.
