Eyelid surgery, also know as blepharoplasty, is one of the fastest growing cosmetic surgery procedures today. Eyelid surgery is a basic procedure to remove excess fat, skin and sometimes muscle from both the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery helps to correct sagging upper eyelids, as well as puffy or baggy skin below your eyes that often contributes to a tired or "older than you are" look. Eyelid surgery is particularly effective when combined with a browlift, for those people that also suffer from sagging eye brows. It should be noted that eyelid surgery cannot remove dark circles below the eye.

Eyelid surgery is generally considered to be a safe procedure - however, like all surgeries you should consult with a qualified surgeon to understand all possible risks. Typical eyelid surgery will take between 1-3 hours, and typical recovery time is about 1-2 weeks. Some bruising after the surgery is common, and your surgeon will watch closely after your surgery to make sure all is well. Typical eyelid surgery costs between $2,000-$3,000, depending on your location, the surgeon, and your candidacy. Thankfully, finding eyelid surgeons as well as other resources about eyelid surgery on the Internet is quite easy.
