Blepharoplasty is a process of getting rid of fat and excess skin in the muscle of upper and lower eyelids. Drooping upper eyelids and swollen bags beneath the eye can make a person look sleepy and look older. Occasionally, it can also block your vision. Blepharoplasty can lift sagging upper eyelids and reduce sagging of the eye bags that develop under the eyes. The surgery typically takes 1 hour to 3 hours to finish. Surgeon will detach the skin from the hypodermis layers and eliminate excess fat and trim sagging muscle and skin. The cut for upper eyelid is made in the natural crease line that 1 cm over the eyelashes and may extend into the crow’s feet. The lower eyelid cut begins beneath the eyelashes and can do longer 1 cm or so in the crow’s feet area. The incisions will be closed with very fine sutures. The physician will grease your eyes with ointment and may use a bandage after the surgery. The first and second week, you may experience some bruising and swelling, but normally subside after the second week or the first 10 days. The eyelids may feel dry, but eye drops can help with this.
