Eyelid surgery is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat around the eyes. Excessive skin can cause unsightly changes in the patient's appearance. It can also affect the patient's vision. The surgery involves making a small incision along an eyelid's natural crease, and then removing any excess fat or bulges. The surgeon may also have to reposition the fat tissue. The surgeon will close the surgical site with fine sutures.
Lower eyelid surgery
Lower eyelid surgery is an option for people who are unhappy with the way their eyes look. The surgeon makes an opening in the lower eyelid to remove excess tissue. He then removes any excess tissue, closes the incision and closes the eyelid. The patient will feel mild discomfort for seven to ten days after the procedure. To ease any discomfort, he might need to apply a lubricating ointment and a cold compress. He can resume his normal activities after this time, although he should not be doing strenuous activities.
Local anesthesia is used to perform the procedure. It does not leave visible scarring. The surgeon ensures that the incisions are made within the natural fold of your eyelid. The incisions are placed in such a way as to prevent any damage to the eye.
