A procedure that tightens bagging or drooping eyelids by removing excess tissue; also called blepharoplasty. Typically, eyelid surgery is performed for cosmetic reasons; baggy eyelids make an individual look older and more tired than he or she feels. Cosmetic eyelid surgery can be performed alone or along with another cosmetic surgery, such as a facelift. In some cases, drooping eyelids interfere with vision, primarily to the sides. In such cases, eyelid surgery is medically indicated as a way of correcting the impairment.
