Blepharoplasty

 Drooping eyelids and eye bags not only make a person look tired and older, but they can also interfere with one’s vision. These problems can be addressed by eyelid lift. Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery involves removal of excess fat, skin, and muscle from the lower and upper eyelids.
Who Should Undergo Blepharoplasty?
Whether you are a man or a woman, you can undergo Eyelid Lift, as long as you are in a good physical and mental condition. Most of our patients are 35 years old and above, but if puffy bags and droopy lids are hereditary, it is recommended that you undergo surgery at a younger age.
Blepharoplasty doesn’t aim to make you look different, although it can enhance your appearance. It is not meant to eliminate dark circles, crow’s feet, or sagging eyebrows, so make sure all of your expectations are realistic.
The surgical procedure takes one to two hours.  It is done on an outpatient basis so you won’t need to spend the night at the hospital.  This surgical procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, but can be done under general anesthesia if needed.
The surgeon will make incisions across the natural lines of your eyelids, below the lashes of your lower eyelids, or in the creases of your upper lids, and may be extended to your crow’s feet or laugh lines.  Sutures are removed one week after.  Patients are able to return to work after one week.
