Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The eyelid surgery page describes treating fullness or a "sad eyes" appearance on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or all four at once, removing excess skin and re-contouring fatty tissue that causes bags; incisions are placed in natural skin folds, and the page notes eyelids can occasionally be treated with internal incisions leaving no external scar (source). The page states blepharoplasty is frequently combined with a brow lift or facelift in the same surgery.
- Brow lift. A separate forehead/brow lift page is listed in the face-procedures menu (source).
