Dermatochalasis is the medical term for excess skin on the eyelids, typically associated with ageing. This excess skin can impair your vision and cause your eyes to appear and feel tired. Blepharoplasty is the surgical removal of this excess skin, rejuvenating the appearance of your eyes and enhancing your vision (when affected). This procedure can lead to a refreshed look and improved functionality, helping you see better and feel more confident.

Blepharoplasty may be covered by your provincial insurance if it affects your vision. Blepharoplasty services provided at Mount Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Vancouver, BC.
