Blepharoplasty is the surgical reshaping or reconstruction of the eyelids. This may involve removing excess skin, muscle or fatty tissue from the upper and/or lower eyelids to reduce the signs of aging or to open up the visual field.
Blepharoplasty is usually performed for the following conditions:
Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia and the surgical process usually takes a few hours. The surgical procedure is usually performed by making small incisions, which are usually placed in the natural eyelid folds so that scars are minimal.
Recovery after blepharoplasty can vary from person to person, but you can usually return to normal daily activities within a few days. Edema and bruising usually subside within a few weeks and the results become more noticeable over time.
Blepharoplasty is a highly effective surgical option for rejuvenation and visual field enhancement.
