Ptosis Repair / Blepharoplasty for “droopy lids”
Our eyes are an important aspect of facial attractiveness and
are what people first notice. Regardless of how well we have
taken care of ourselves, time catches up. Skin around the eyes
is very sensitive and begins to stretch and wrinkle. Even a good
night’s sleep does not help. Droopy saggy eyelids makes us look
sad, tired or older than we are.
