Eyelid
surgery
(blepharoplasty)
is a
procedure
that
removes
fat along
with
excess
skin and
muscle
from the
upper and
lower
eyelids.
Eyelid
surgery
can
correct
drooping
upper lids
and puffy
bags below
your eyes
- features
that make
you look
older and
more tired
than you
feel, and
may even
interfere
with your
vision. It
won't
remove
crow's
feet or
other
wrinkles,
eliminate
dark
circles
under your
eyes,
or lift
sagging
eyebrows.
Blepharoplasty
can be
done
alone, or
in
conjunction
with other
facial
surgery
procedures
such as a
facelift
or
browlift.
Blepharoplasty
works to
improve
the
overall
appearance
of the
eyes by
removing
excess
tissue
from the
region.
People can
look
exponentially
older than
they are
due to
puffy bags
under the
eyes or
drooping,
heavy
eyelids.
Blepharoplasty
can help
restore
youth to
your face
easily by
removing
these
aging
features.
As
blepharoplasty
is
considered
to be a
minor
procedure,
it is
generally
done under
a
combination
of local
anesthesia
and IV
sedation.
Many
candidates
choose to
get eyelid
surgery at
the same
time as
other
procedures
such as a
face lift,
brow lift,
or
rhinoplasty.
While some
patients
choose to
focus only
on their
upper or
lower
eyelids,
many
choose to
have the
procedure
done on
all four
lids. In
these
cases,
surgery is
first
performed
on the
upper
lids, then
the
surgeon
moves to
the lower
lids.
Incisions
are
usually
made in
the crease
of your
eyelid for
the upper
lids and
slightly
underneath
your
eyelashes
for the
lower
lids.
