What type of procedure is blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty refers to a surgical procedure specifically designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids. It is often called an "eye lift" because it addresses issues such as sagging skin, puffiness, and the formation of bags under the eyes, which can contribute to a tired or aged appearance. This procedure can involve both the upper and lower eyelids and is widely sought after for both cosmetic and functional reasons, especially when excess skin hampers vision.

In contrast, a facelift focuses on the lower two-thirds of the face and neck, rejuvenating these areas, while skin exfoliation techniques involve the removal of dead skin cells to promote a clearer complexion and are not surgical. Laser treatments utilize focused light beams for various skin resurfacing procedures but do not specifically target the eyelids like blepharoplasty. Thus, the classification of blepharoplasty as an "eye lift" captures its intended purpose and clientele accurately.
