The Procedure
How is Blepharoplasty Performed?
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper or lower
eyelids separately or both at the same time. The lower
eyelid incision may be made directly under the eyelash
line or on the inside of the lower lid. The excess skin
and fatty tissue is removed and the incisions are carefully
closed. The external incisions blend in beautifully
and are virtually unnoticeable after a short time.
Blepharoplasty is commonly combined with a face or
forehead lift as part of an overall facial rejuvenation
procedure. It can also be combined with chemical peeling
to further enhance the results. Usually, a cosmetic
surgeon will recommend the peel as a separate procedure,
although it can be combined in certain situations.
Will I need to stay in a hospital?
This surgical procedure can be performed on an out
patient basis, in the hospital, or in an ambulatory
surgical suite under either general or local anesthesia,
depending on the surgeon and patient's preferences.
Is the surgery painful?
Usually this type of surgery is done as an outpatient
and local anesthesia is administered. Depending on your
needs, you may find that additional anesthesia would
keep you comfortable.
What AreThe Risks?
There are risks in any surgical procedure. The degree
of improvement varies from patient to patient. You should
discuss all the benefits and risks with your cosmetic
surgeon.

How Will I Look?
Some swelling and bruising can be expected. The swelling
will usually begin to subside within several days, while
bruising may take several weeks to completely fade.
Make up can be used within a few days of surgery to
cover any discoloration. Sutures are usually removed
a few days after surgery. This operation is easily tolerated
by the patient. There may be mild discomfort after surgery
which can be easily controlled by medications prescribed
by your doctor.
