Surgical rejuvenation of the eyelids or Blepharoplasty is a procedure usually performed on otherwise healthy patients who may have excess skin, muscle, and fat around the eyelids. The operation is done to rejuvenate the eyelids and achieves a more youthful appearance.
This approach is used only in the lower eyelid in select patients. Many of these patients may not need skin removed, but only excess fatty tissue. The tissues are separated to obtain access to the fat pockets in the lower eyelid.
The pockets of fat are exposed and a series of surgical instruments are used to remove the fat. The wound is allowed to heal. Sutures may be placed in the wound depending on the surgeon`s preference. In select patients it is possible to have extra skin removed with another incision on the outside of the eyelid. Healing time may be up to two weeks.
There may be significant swelling and bruising following the procedure. Sometimes it may take longer to achieve the final results.
