Eye Conditions > Blepharochalasis/Ptosis

Your eyes are usually the first thing that people notice about your appearance. As we get older, the skin around our eyes stretches and wrinkles. Fatty deposits cause the upper lids to sag while the tissue under the eye can bulge forward and become discolored. Typically, these characteristics come with age, but hereditary factors can cause a younger person to appear prematurely aged. A surgical procedure may be necessary for those people whose vision is impaired due to this condition.

Through modern techniques and advances in an eyelid rejuvenation procedure called blepharoplasty, the condition can be treated.
