Droopy eyelids, together with sagging skin, are the obvious and unavoidable signs of aging. The culprit behind this unpleasing effect is the loss of volume and weakening of muscles. Excess fat then gathers above and below the eyelids, causing them to droop and form a baggy appearance.

Blepharoplasty is the name for the procedure involving the repair of droopy eyelids. During the treatment, a cut is made under the fold of the eyelids to remove excess fat, muscle, or skin.
