Eyelid surgery

In the event that the patient is undergoing both upper and lower eyelids surgery at the same time, the surgeon will perform the upper eyelid surgery first.
The surgeon makes an incision along the natural crease of the upper eyelid. After that, he removes the excess skin and a little muscle and fat tissue that is under the skin.
This incision is closed with a thin suture that leaves almost no scar.
Sometimes, in order to close the incision, a special package or surgical skin glue is used. The incision made on the lower eyelids is made directly under the eyelashes, in the natural crease of the eye, or just inside the lower eyelid.
The doctor will remove excess fat tissue, muscle, and excess skin. The location of the suture is either on the inner side of the eyelid or under the eyelashes, depending on the location of the incision
Eyelid surgery usually takes less than two hours. This depends on the location and amount of excess tissue that needs to be removed. After the surgery, the patient will receive eye drops to keep the eyes from drying out.
Ice packs or cold packs can be used to reduce swelling of the eyelids. If the incision is closed with stitches, they must be removed within 5-7 days
