Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical technique to rejuvenate your eyes by removing excess skin from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Over time, factors such as age, genetics and lifestyle can take a toll on the skin and muscle surrounding your eyes. Because of this, blepharoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures. What it’s used for Eyelid and eye area conditions treated include: • Excess or droopy skin on eyelids. • Folds of skin that interfere with vision. • Fatty deposits and puffy areas around the eyes. • Bags under the eye. Eye-related surgery techniques Our board-certified plastic surgeon operates with meticulous technique, using the latest approaches to preserve healthy tissues and minimize scarring. For eyelid surgery, techniques include: • For upper eyelid surgery, the doctor may make incisions within the natural crease of your upper eyelid so they’re well-concealed. Your surgeon will remove or reposition fat deposits, tighten muscles and remove excess skin. • For lower eyelid corrections, the incision may be located just below your lower lash line. Your surgeon may remove excess skin in the lower eyelid and remove fat or reshape fatty areas. • For certain lower eyelid procedures, the surgeon may make a transconjunctival incision on the inside of the lower eyelid. This is an alternate way to remove or reshape excess fat without removing any skin. Mark Shashikant, MD, FACS Dealing with puffy or droopy eyes?
