Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty
removes the excess fat, muscle, and skin from both upper and lower
lids. The results can be a refreshed appearance, with a younger, firmer
eye area. People with circulatory, ophthalmologic, or serious medical
conditions must first consult their own personal specialists to
determine whether blepharoplasty is an option to consider.
Upper eyelid surgery
Incisions
are made along the individual lines and creases of the lids
in order to keep the scars as invisible as possible along these
natural folds. Excess fat, muscle, and loose skin are removed. Fine
sutures are used to close the incisions, minimizing the visibility of
any scar.
Lower eyelid surgery
The
incision is made in an inconspicuous site along the lashline and smile
creases of the lower lid. Excess fat, muscle, and skin are then trimmed
away before the incision is closed with fine sutures.
Eyelid puffiness
Eyelid
puffiness caused primarily by excess fat may be corrected by a
transconjunctival blepharoplasty. The incision in this case is made
inside the lower eyelid, and excess fatty material is removed.
There are no visible scars.
