Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can reduce the puffy "bags" under the eyes and remove droopy, loose skin hanging down from upper eyelids, which can sometimes interfere with vision. The surgery can be performed to add an upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes, but it will not erase evidence of racial heritage.
Right for you? Most patients are 35 or older, but some people may opt for the surgery earlier if droopy, baggy eyelids are a family trait.
