A Little History
Blepharoplasty has been around for a long time. In fact, surgical treatment of the eyelids has been around since Ancient Rome. In the first century, there are records of surgery performed by the Roman, Aulus Cornelius Celus, who attempted to relax the upper eyelids.
Today, blepharoplasty is the technical term for surgery targeting defects of the eyelids, whether it be cosmetic or functional. Excesses of fat or muscle may also be targeted, as long as they are related to the appearance or functionality of the eyelids.
