Blepharoplasty in Mangalore
What is Blepharoplasty?
Commonly known as eyelid surgery, Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure used to extract excess skin, fat and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It is designed to correct droopy eyelids, reduce puffiness, and eliminate under-eye bags, giving the eyes a more youthful, alert, and refreshed appearance.
