What is a Blepharoplasty?

As the area around your eyes ages, it can make you look tired and older than you feel. Blepharoplasty in Lancaster & Wayne, PA at Morgenstern Center can return the eye area to a more youthful appearance. Sometimes, it’s medically necessary if droopy upper eyelids or a sagging brow interfere with your vision. This procedure can restore a more alert, youthful facial appearance. Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids (or both). During your consultation with Dr. Morgenstern, he will evaluate whether you need aesthetic or reconstructive surgery.
