Upper Blepharoplasty: During the aging process some people lose upper eyelid fat, thus they increase UEE while getting old, meanwhile other people get more hooded eyes because brow skin becomes very loose and saggy. Upper blepharoplasty is a surgery which aims to reduce excessive eye hooding, however it has been argued that upper blepharoplasy is unnecessary because hooded eyes usually look good
