Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery otherwise called blepharoplasty is a procedure to remove along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes
It will not remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. For treatment on these types of problems Botox or Restylane is used.
Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift or browlift. Blepharoplasty is most often performed as a day case, with no need for an overnight stay in hospital. The operation lasts one to two hours and less if just the upper or lower lids are being done.
After the belpharoplasty operation your eyes may be covered with pads to prevent the eye area from drying out.
