Baggy Eyelids (Dermatochalasis)

Excessive skin, fat and aging in the upper or lower eyelid. Baggy eyelids are sometimes referred to as "puffy" or "heavy" eyelids. While some people are born with heavy eyelids others may develop excess skin and puffiness as a result of the sun exposure, the aging process or injury. Blepharoplasty is the name of the surgery that is performed to remove excess skin and fat of the eyelids to improve appearance.
