The Procedure for Eyelid Surgery
- Local or general anaesthesia can be used for eyelid surgery it takes about one to two hours
- In the upper eyelid an incision is made in the natural crease, excess skin and fat are removed
- In the lower eyelid an incision is made below the eyelashes and in the creases of the outer part of the corner of the eye. Excess skin and fat are trimmed
- The muscles are tightened or lifted
- The incisions are closed with very fine sutures which are mostly dissolvable
- This can be combined with facelift surgery
