Think of your face as if it were divided into three sections:
Top: forehead, brow, and upper eyelid
Middle: lower eyelid and cheek
Lower: jaws, chin, and neck
To rejuvenate the entire face requires forehead lifting, blepharoplasty, mid-face lifting, a neck lift, and maybe a little laser resurfacing thrown in to boot. Not many people relish the idea of going through such a marathon operation that can readily break the bank.
Treatment by blepharoplasty goes a long way towards restoring two of the three units noted above, while remaining much more modest in scope, risk, cost, and recovery time. If your eyes are bright, the impact of a slightly sagging jowl is greatly diminished.
Thus, many people elect to undergo blepharoplasty before or instead of a full facial restoration. And since the eyelids tend to age earlier than the forehead and neck, there's little reason to wait for your whole face to go to pot before deciding to fight back.
