Puffy/Baggy Eyes (Blepharoplasty)

Additional loose skin may be present. Patients complain of heaviness on eyes, headache in an attempt to open eyes and/or limitation or restriction of the visual field. It can be caused by the following reasons:
- Hereditary/ familial
- Skin laxity/ looseness - causing extra skin to hang over
- Atrophy of fat around the brows - leading to descent of the brows
- It can be present in all ethnicities but can specifically be seen in north-eastern Indians and Asians
