A veiled gaze coming from a drooping lid or due to bags under the eyes, expresses weariness and sadness, and has an ageing effect on the face. Blepharoplasty may remedy these causes and recover tone and lightness at the eyes, bringing back one’s gaze to its initial splendor.

There may be excess skin at the eyelids and excess fat in the lower sub-ocular area, the so-called eye bags. In the upper lids, excess skin may more or less be accentuated, up to the extreme case in which the upper lid hinders the lid raising movement. This case not only jeopardizes the aesthetic appearance of the face, it also indicates the onset of a progressive reduction of the eyesight. 

The bags under the eyes sare formed after an accumulation of periorbital fat, due to the sagging of the orbital septum because of its scarcely elastic framework and excessive fat. This phenomenon may be the result of skin ageing, traumatic damage or a constitutional proneness. Blepharoplasty may resolve this problem which cannot be solved in any other way, if not through surgery. 

A blepharoplasty intervention can correct defects without upsetting the peculiar features of a face, and the scars are invisible.
