Plastic surgery of the upper eyelids

With increased age, patients often have a problem with droopy eyelids. This is due to loss of elasticity of the skin on the eyelids. Among other factors, the emergence of droopy eyelids includes the lifestyle, heredity, allergies, kidney disease, and skin type. In addition to the aesthetic problems, droopy upper eyelids also caused a constricted field of vision, tired eyes, and headaches.
