The procedure

Eyelid surgery itself usually takes between one and three hours and can be performed either in the surgeon’s clinic or requiring hospital admission, and usually required one stay or two nights after the procedure.

This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and just numbs the eyelid and the surrounding area, while you are sedated but awake during surgery or general anesthesia that keeps you asleep during the entire procedure.

If the upper eyelids are targeted

The incisions will be performed along the natural wrinkles of the upper eyelids that are made with the traditional scalpel or laser. The incisions of the upper eyelid extend from the upper inner corners of the eyelids to the outer corner of the eye.

Through these incisions, excess skin, fat, and muscle as necessary are removed. And finally, the incisions are closed using tiny sutures which dissolve in about one week.

If the lower eyelids are targeted

 The incision in this case is performed along the lash line and natural smile wrinkles and lines of the lower lid, through which excess fat and skin are removed and finally closed in the same way.

Recovery
