Eyelid surgery just snagged the top spot as the world’s most popular plastic surgery procedure. And it makes sense: the eyes are usually the first place people notice signs of aging, often as early as their late 30’s and early 40’s. 

From smoothing out droopy lids to improving vision, eyelid surgery isn’t just about looking refreshed—it can be functional too.

San Diego facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kiersten Riedler explains why more people (including men) are choosing it, what recovery looks like, and how social media, Zoom calls and FaceTime have us all a little more eye-obsessed.
