Laser Blepharoplasty. Prices, Reviews, Ratings
General information
Laser blepharoplasty was introduced as one of the eyelid surgery techniques relatively recently, but has already gained popularity due to its excellent quality, reliability and relatively greater safety. However, it is not suitable for everyone. Firstly, the use of laser blepharoplasty is limited by the fact that this technique only works on the lower eyelid. Secondly, it is used only in cases where there is no need to excise a large amount of skin from the patient's eyelids. Laser blepharoplasty helps to get rid of the following problems:
- expression wrinkles;
- nasolacrimal groove;
- bags under the eyes.
Thus, the spectrum of impact of this procedure is very wide. With low invasiveness and high level of efficiency of the operation, laser blepharoplasty is one of the most popular types of eyelid surgery.
