Some people have eyelid surgery to correct problems that are a result of aging, while others have inherited traits such as bags under their eyes that cause them to seek treatment at a younger age.

If surgery is required to correct the upper eyelid, the incision will be hidden within the natural fold of the upper eyelid and it is through this incision that excess skin and fat are removed.
