Ah, blepharoplasty. Sounds like something that comes out of your nose when you blow it. Happily, I know from no less a resource than my mother that it's no such thing, since she had it done as part of her facial plastic surgery. Blepharoplasty is basically a remodeling of the eyelid.
Generally, blepharoplasty entails the removal by surgery of a little excess skin and fat. In my mom's case, she felt her eyelids were much too fatty and hung low over her eyes, closing them off. At the time, I thought she was quite insane, but she had read her resources well, and the truth was that the blepharoplasty opened her eyes a great deal, making them much more noticeable, expressive, and attractive. (Yes, Mom, I admit I was wrong.)
Blepharoplasty Risks
Like with rhinoplasty, the blepharoplasty risks are few. It is not risk-free, simply because no surgery is, and any resource that says otherwise is lying to you. Possible but rare complications could include having too much skin removed, which would cause incomplete lid closure and subsequent trouble with eye dryness.
The only bad part of the procedure for my mom was the recovery, especially since she had her blepharoplasty as part of a larger cosmetic surgery. The bruising and swelling was unbelievable. She looked far worse than Rocky Balboa ever did at the end of a fight. She stayed swollen and bruised for a long time. Believe me -- you don't want to go through recovery the way she did. Take the SinEcch, reduce the swelling, and get out of the mummy bandages much, much sooner.
