Isn eyelid surgery part of a facelift procedure?
Eyelid surgery is a distinct procedure referred to as a blepharoplasty. It is the original “cosmetic” procedure and is still the most common, with about 50,000 persons having the procedure in the United States each year. People look older and more tired once aging skin creates baggy or puffy eyelids, and since this occurs much earlier than wrinkles in the face, it is common for people to elect eyelid surgery years before they need a facelift.
