I had blepharoplasty surgery or eyelid lift twice. The first time in my 40s, due to genetics. It bothered me that people kept saying I looked tired and needed more sleep….when I didn’t. I was well rested. It involved removing skin and fat from upper and lower lids.

My second blepharoplasty I was in my 50s. This time was just upper and was due to ptosis. They go in and shorten the tendon that holds up the eyelid. Mine had drooped too much. They removed extra skin as well. I had to have a small revision on one eye about a month later. No big deal though.
