Droopy eyelids provide the face a tired and fatigued look and don’t frame the eyes well. Help is at hand as eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty can remove the droopy look that your eyelids provide.

Cosmetic Surgery for Droopy Eyelids

The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia and can take between 1-3 hours. Basically what is done is removal of excess skin, fat and muscle that lead to the droopy look of the eyelids. The incisions in the upper eyelids are placed on the natural crease of the eyelids and for the lower eyelids they are made under the eyelashes. Once the excess skin, fat and muscle are removed sutures are placed. In case fat needs to be removed only from the lower eyelids the incision is made inside the eyelid and this is called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. This cn be done with a LASER with virtually no brusing, minimal eyelid swelling and a quick return to work.

This may include the use of eye drops or an ointment to keep the area lubricated. The stitches would be removed in 3 days after droopy eyelid surgery.
