Eyes Have It

As we age, many of us notice the tissue around the eyes becomes loose, almost flabby. For some, sagging upper lids can impair vision significaly. Plastic surgery of the eyelid area, known as blepharoplasty, is designed to correct drooping eyelids and puffy bags by removing excess skin, fat and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids.
