Hooded Eyes or Eye Bags? Don't Make This Mistake

Book a consultation with Dr. Eftekhari at https://eyelid.pro/book Upper and lower blepharoplasty are two completely different operations, even though both are meant to fix the same tired, heavy look around the eyes. The upper eyelid works like a curtain, and upper eyelid surgery removes the redundant skin weighing it down. The lower eyelid works like a hammock, and lower eyelid surgery is almost entirely about managing the fat that pushes forward to create under eye bags and dark circles, which is why a good surgeon rarely just cuts that fat out. Board certified oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Kian Eftekhari of the Eyelid Center of Utah breaks down the anatomy behind both procedures, the incisions and recovery for each, and a simple pinch test you can do in the mirror that may save you a trip to the eyelid surgeon in the first place.
