Why is eyelid surgery popular?
Growing age brings in a lot of changes in the body and one of the first areas to display them is the face. Your eyes, especially may start looking puffy and tired. Dark circles may further add to the problem, making your face look older. With time and contact tucking and pulling that you may have done while taking off your eye make up, the skin around your eyelids may start sagging. However, a quick solution to all these problems is an eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). You can improve the appearance of your tired-looking, droopy eyes with blepharoplasty.
