The cosmetic procedure of eyelid surgery involves removing excess skin and fat from the area around the eyes. Excess skin can make a patient look unattractive and can cause a change in their appearance. It can also block the patient's eyesight. The surgery involves making an incision along a natural crease on the eyelid and removing the excess fat and bulges. The surgeon may also be required to reposition certain fat tissues. After the surgery, the area will be closed with fine sutures.
Lower eyelid Surgery
For people who are unhappy in the appearance of their eyes, lower eyelid surgeries is an option. The surgeon makes an opening in the lower eyelid to remove excess tissue. The surgeon then removes the excess tissue and stitches it closed. The patient may experience mild discomfort for up to 7-10 days after the procedure. To minimize discomfort, he may need to use a lubricating cream on his eyes and a cold compress. After this period, he will be able to resume his normal activities, which may include light activities but not strenuous.
Local anesthesia is used. There is no visible scarring. The surgeon makes sure to make the incisions inside the natural fold of the eyelid. The surgeon makes sure that the incisions are not made to cause any eye damage.
