What is the difference between an eyelid lift, blepharoplasty and ptosis surgery?
Eyelid lift is a term that generally refers to a surgical procedure to address excess
skin and fat around the eyelids.
Blepharoplasty typically refers to a surgery to the upper and lower eyelid to address excess
skin, fat and any other anatomical issue.
For example, you can undergo an upper eyelid blepharoplasty or lower eyelid blepharoplasty
or both.

eyelid margin relative to the pupil such as levator muscle advancement, levator resection
or frontalis sling surgery.
