Loose or sagging skin creating folds on the upper eyelid, excess skin and wrinkles around the lower eyelid, drooping lower eyelids -- all these and others can at some point impair your vision. Or perhaps you feel that the skin around your eyes could use a refresh. Coby Ray, M.D., an oculoplastic surgeon at Texas Tech Physicians, is our expert for this episode. Dr. Ray explains that sometimes blepharplasty is sometimes medically necessary to prevent vision impairment caused by droopy eyelids. He goes over what's involved with the surgery and recovery and his recommendations to help prevent droopy eyelids.
