Blepharoplasty, or eye bag surgery, removes skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids to improve their look. This article examines how blepharoplasty changes facial morphology by evaluating surgical methods, preparation, assessment criteria, and measurement instruments. Patient satisfaction questionnaires, panel assessments and photographic comparisons show how blepharoplasty reduces eye bag prominence, improves skin elasticity, and changes facial topography. Success is extensively established, although the best results depend on patient selection, careful and detailed surgery planning, and technical execution by skilled surgeons. The assessment also suggests blepharoplasty for periorbital rejuvenation but emphasizes the need for more research to better meet patients' demands.
