Eyelid Surgery

With advancing age eyelid skin becomes loose & wrinkled. The underlying muscle becomes weak and the fat beneath it bulges out. This results in  sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids and bags under your eyes. The eyes look tired, adding years to the face. Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or undereye bags surgery, removes excessive skin from eyelid, tightens muscle & repositions the fat. It thus rejuvenates the eyelids & helps to restore youthfulness of face.

Who Are The Candidates For Blepharoplasty?

You are a candidate for blepharoplasty if you have-

  • Baggy or droopy upper eyelids.
  • Excess skin of the upper eyelids that interferes with your peripheral vision.
  • Excess skin on the lower eyelids.
  • Bags under your eyes which gives you a tired & sad look.

Things To Consider Before Blepharoplasty

  •  The appearance of a drooping upper lid may also be due to relaxation of the forehead skin and drooping of eye brow. In this case brow lift procedure is required alone or in combination with blepharoplasty.
  • Sometimes stretching out of the upper eyelid muscle may cause a drooping eyelid. This is called eyelid ptosis and requires a different surgical treatment.
  • sometimes when lower eyelid skin is very lax, an additional procedure (canthoplasty or canthpexy) may be needed to support your lower eyelid.

What Is Done In Blepharoplasty?

  • UPPER EYELID:-A small incision is taken in natural crease of upper eyelid. After separating muscle, fat is removed or repositioned. The muscle is tightened & skin incision is closed.
  • LOWER EYELID:-A skin incision is taken just below the lash line. Eyelid fat is either removed or redistributed to treat surrounding hollowness. Excess skin is removed & incision is closed.
  • Transconjuctival Blepharoplasty:- is an alternative method to treat lower eyelid condition. In this incision is taken inside the eye & fat is removed or redistributed. No skin is removed but loose skin is tightened with laser.
