Eyelid Surgery for Women

Droopy, sagging eyelids can make you look old, tired and listless at any age. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin, fat and sometimes muscle from the upper and lower lids making your eyes more open, vibrant and lively looking. In some cases if your vision is impaired by drooping upper lids, insurance may cover some of the costs.
