Eyelid surgery

How is Blepharoplasty performed?

The procedure will vary depending on your physical features, the amount of skin and fat to be removed, and your surgeon's judgment. It may take 1-2 hours. Usually, upper and lower eyelid incisions are marked along natural lines, and extend into the "crow's feet", or smile lines, at the outer edge of the eye. Following removal of excess skin and fat, the incisions are carefully closed.

Will the procedure leave any scars?

Scars are the inevitable result of any surgery, although your surgeon will make every effort to keep your scars as inconspicuous as possible. Thus the scars will be along natural skin lines and creases and will usually fade with time and become barely noticeable.
