Eyelid Surgery is Either Cosmetic or Medical
Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure that reduces “puffy eyes” or bagginess from lower or upper eyelids. The surgery aims to improve the appearance of the eyelids and is typically done for cosmetic purposes.
However, this same procedure can massively benefit older people when their upper eyelids are overly saggy and disrupt their vision. Blepharoplasty, however, does not address facial wrinkles, crow’s feet, or dark circles underneath the eyes.
Your Oculoplastic Surgeon & Blepharoplasty Surgery
An oculoplastic surgeon will administer medications and local anesthesia before the surgery. During the procedure, incision lines designed by Ophthalmologist Name will conceal any scars resulting from the surgery, which will fit the natural structures of your eyelid.
In most cases, the oculoplastic surgeon will remove or reposition fat deposits, tighten muscles, and/or remove excess skin through the incision made in your upper eyelid. The incision for lower eyelids is hidden just below the lower lashes to ensure scarring is close to invisible. Most incisions are closed with sutures or skin glue, which can be removed within a week. Some surgeons may also incorporate laser or chemical peel to reduce discoloration of the lower eyelids.
