• First, an incision is made along the lid, and excess fat, muscle, and skin are trimmed away from the eyelid.

• This outpatient procedure, which typically takes one to three hours, is performed under anesthesia and is considered to be permanent in many cases--although it will not prevent natural aging.
• Post surgery, dry eyes, swelling, bruising, and sensitivity to light may occur, but such side effects will fade within 10 days.

Inside Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery

As key elements in facial expression, the eyes convey messages of emotion, vitality, and age. Over time, the eyes undergo changes that often make people feel as if they appear sad or tired. In 2006, approximately 223,000 people had eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, to correct these common problems. 

The aging process can cause the eyelids to sag and droop, which in combination with bags and puffiness can make you look tired and older than you really are. Eyelid surgery can help freshen and revitalize your face by reducing the appearance of heavy and sagging eyelids, puffiness, and bags under the eyes.
