Eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty)
Eyelid Surgery
Also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that can help improve the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the eyelids. This procedure can help reduce the appearance of droopy or sagging eyelids, bags under the eyes, and fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
Eyelid surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The procedure can take anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the extent of the surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon will make incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids, removing excess skin, fat, and muscle as needed. The incisions are then closed with sutures or surgical glue.
