Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin, fat pads, and sometimes weakened muscles from the eyelids. It can be performed for aesthetic purposes or to restore eyelid function (e.g., improving vision limited by drooping eyelids).

Indications:

Procedure:

- Duration: approximately 1–2 hours
- Patient may go home the same day or stay briefly in the clinic

Benefits:
