Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that is performed to correct cosmetic or health concerns related to the upper or lower eyelids.

Upper eyelid surgery is typically done to address sagging or drooping skin around the eye area. During this procedure, excess skin, fat, and muscle tissue are removed, and the remaining tissues are tightened. The recovery time for this procedure is usually short, and normal activities can be resumed within a few days.

Lower eyelid surgery is also an option to reduce signs of aging around the eye area. During this procedure, fat pockets or sagging skin under the eye are removed or reshaped. The recovery time for lower eyelid surgery may be slightly longer compared to upper eyelid surgery.

However, there are risks and potential side effects associated with eyelid surgery, so a thorough examination and consultation with a doctor is necessary before undergoing the procedure. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully before and after the surgery, and to ask any questions you may have.
