Is there a difference between upper and lower eyelid surgery?

Yes. Upper eyelid surgery is performed for issues with the upper lid, such as excessive skin and drooping beneath the brow extending into the upper eyelid. This excess skin often gives the appearance of looking tired or aged. It can also have an impact on a person’s vision because excess skin can block your visual field. Lower eyelid surgery is performed to help with issues such as puffy bags, often resulting from volume loss within other areas of the face.
