An eyelid surgery which is medically termed as a blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to eliminate the excess skin from the eyelids or to remove or add fat into the eyelids. Drooping eyelids can make you appear older than your age, tired and angry all the time. An eyelid lift surgery adds youthfulness to your appearance and improves your vision that is hindered by the excess skin on the upper eyelid.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
In an upper eyelid surgery (upper blepharoplasty), an incision is made by the surgeon to remove the excess fat or skin. It is used to create or enhance the appearance of an upper eyelid crease.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
In a lower eyelid surgery (lower blepharoplasty), an incision is made by the plastic surgeon in the inner side of the eyelid or right below the lash line. After the incision is been made, your surgeon will add or remove the fat tissues according to your needs and requirements. Your surgeon will try to make the incision hardly noticeable. Your surgeon will make self-absorbable stitches but bandages will be kept on the incision sites for few days.
A combination of both upper and lower eyelid surgery is performed to enhance the appearance of both eyelids.
