Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is used to improve the appearance of the eyelids. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin, eliminates bags and restores firmness to the area surrounding the eye for a more youthful and alert appearance. Upper eyelid surgery may be covered by insurance if vision is impaired by the sagging eyelids.
