Plastic surgeons make a change in the bone structure, cartilage and skin to straighten a slightly deformed nose, to smooth bump in the so-called bridge of the nose, to narrow and reduce the nose that is too wide and big for the face.

Some people choose to do the surgery only on their upper or lower eyelids, and some of them do it on both. The majority of the candidates are in their 30s since in that period the collagen fibers start to dissolve and the skin loses its elasticity, but on the other hand, this procedure is also popular with people in their 50s or 60s. Despite the fact that it is a simple one, you must be relatively healthy and do not have some eyelid conditions.
You will definitely look a few years younger and with a brighter appearance.
