Eyelid surgery / Blepharoplasty is recommended for those patients who have excess fat deposits or bags above or below the eye. These puffy fatty deposits can make you appear tired or angry.

Incisions are typically made in the creases of your upper eyelids and just below the lashes in your lower eyelids, making scars virtually invisible. After the underlying fat and excess skin are removed, the incisions are closed with fine sutures designed to leave nearly invisible scars. In a Transconjuctival Blepharoplasty, the plastic surgeon makes the incision inside the lower eyelid. No skin is removed and the incision is closed with dissolving sutures.

Eyelid surgery / blepharoplasty usually takes between one to three hours as an outpatient procedure under general or “twilight” anesthesia. Stitches are removed in about one week. Strenuous activities can be resumed in about three weeks. Scarring is usually minimal after three weeks and undetectable in six months. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery used to remove the fat deposits and loose skin that can form on the lower eyelids with age. Factors, including heredity, smoking, and sun damage accelerate these changes. Younger people also elect to have this procedure done to eliminate puffiness of the eyes from congenital excess of fatty tissue.

Blepharoplasty is frequently combined other procedures, such as upper eyelid blepharoplasty, facelift or forehead lift, and can be combined with chemical resurfacing to smooth skin wrinkles. When overhanging of the upper eyelids interferes with vision, and both upper and lower eyelids are done at the same time, the upper eyelid procedure may be covered by insurance although not often.
