Upper and lower blepharoplasty — often simply referred to as eyelid surgery or “bleph” — is a cosmetic surgery that rejuvenates the upper and lower eyelids by removing sagging skin, reducing puffiness, and smoothing fine wrinkles. This popular facial cosmetic procedure helps restore a more rested and youthful appearance while preserving the natural shape of the eyes.
