Because the neck is so visible and exposed to the sun, it is one of the most susceptible regions to wrinkle and develop other signs of aging.

Blepharoplasty is also called an eyelid lift or eyelid enhancement surgery. This is perhaps the easiest cosmetic surgery to recover from. It is surgery that is performed to correct saggy, baggy or puffy eyelids.

This is most often due to the natural aging process, but genetics, time in the sun, and various other factors can play a part.
