Do you look tired? Do you have excess skin on the upper eyelid, or do you even suffer from impaired vision? The skin on the eyelids is the thinnest on our body and as we age our skin becomes less elastic and weaker. Therefore, the signs of fatigue and aging are first seen around eyes. With the procedure, we excise excess skin, remove little of protruding fat. Sometimes the surgery can be combined with a brow lift or a lower blepharoplasty.
