With the advancement of age and the effect of gravity, skin loosening, excess and sagging occur in the eyebrows, upper and lower eyelids, and with this, there may be bagging, especially in the lower eyelids, with the forward herniation of the fat tissues. Although this situation causes an aesthetic appearance disorder, drooping upper eyelids block the front of the eye and may prevent the person from seeing. With aesthetic eyelid surgery, excess skin is removed and the membrane in front of the herniated adipose tissue is strengthened and-or the excess fat mass is removed. Thus, both a beautiful appearance is obtained and the person can see it comfortably. The upper eyelid leaves a scar in the fold of the lid and can only be seen when viewed very closely. On the lower lid, a trace remains just under the eyelashes, the rest of the trace looks like a normal skin line on the side. Eyelids are the least scarring part of the human body.
