Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at treating hooding of the upper eyelids and improving the overall appearance of the eyelids. It generally involves removing excess skin, muscle, and/or fat from the upper or lower eyelids, or both. This procedure can provide significant aesthetic enhancements, as well as functional benefits for some patients. Distinguished ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeon Ms Aoife Naughton delves into the nuances of blepharoplasty, its indications, and what patients should consider before undergoing this procedure.
