Eyelid Lift Procedure
The medical term for eyelid lifts is blepharoplasty. This procedure can remove puffiness or bags under the eyes. It can also correct droopy eyelids. In eyelid lift surgery, the physician surgically removes excess fat, muscle, and skin from both the upper and lower eyelids to redefine the shape of the eye. Sagging or drooping eyelids occur naturally with increasing age. However, some people are born with it or develop diseases that cause eyelid drooping. Most blepharoplasties are done to improve appearance, but some people have excessive eyelid drooping that actually interferes with vision. For these people eyelid lifts are required to improve eyesight. Eyelid lift is usually optional (elective) cosmetic surgery. It is usually done while the patient is awake or sleepy (sedated) but under local anesthesia. The eyelid lift incisions are made in the natural creases or folds of the eyelids. Loose skin and extra fat tissue is removed. The eyelid muscles are tightened and the incision is stitched closed. Eyelid lift surgery rarely requires hospitalization. The surgery is done in a surgeon's office or as outpatient surgery in a hospital or surgical center.
