eyelid surgery
Eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure designed to remove excess skin, wrinkles, and fatty deposits from the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. This helps reduce puffiness and create a smoother, more refreshed appearance around the eyes. Upper blepharoplasty addresses loose or excess skin and fat that may fold over the natural eyelid crease and, in more severe cases, interfere with vision. Lower blepharoplasty focuses on reducing under-eye bags and dark circles while correcting sagging or drooping of the lower eyelids.
How the procedure is preformed
Upper and lower blepharoplasty can often be performed in the office under local anesthesia, depending on the patient's individual needs, health history, and surgical plan. Office-based procedures may offer the convenience of avoiding general anesthesia.
For patients seeking more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, eyelid surgery can also be performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures, such as a facelift, brow lift, or other facial rejuvenation treatments. Combining procedures may allow patients to address multiple areas of concern during a single surgical visit.
