Make you look younger and more beautiful through an eyelid surgery

Eyelid surgery, commonly known as “Blepharoplasty”, is used to extract excess fat, skin, as well as excess muscles. The surgical procedure is performed either on upper or lower eyelids. As a person ages, the skin around the eye stretches and fat gets accumulated, which may also affect eyesight. Sometimes, both upper and lower eyelids may get affected. People go through an eyelid surgery that may make them look younger and more beautiful than their actual age.


There are several types of eyelid surgery Los Angeles procedures such as:

Upper eyelid surgery is used to remove excess skin present around the eye that may affect the inner corner of the eye.

Lower eyelid surgery is used to eliminate puffiness under the eyes. This is caused due to aging and excess fat and skin getting accumulated near the eye which makes one look older.

Asian eyelid surgery is also referred to as double eyelid surgery. It is designed specifically to improve the appearance of Asian people whose orbital septum structure somewhat varies from others. There is an eye layer that holds the fat back. An Asian eyelid surgery moves this layer towards the margin of the eyelids.

A patient undergoing a lower eyelid surgery requires an incision to be made on the natural lines of lower eyelid. The fat deposited is then removed from the lower eyelid. In an upper eyelid surgery, the incision is made on natural eyelid lines to remove excess muscles, fat, or skin. In both the surgeries, the incision is then closed with the help of sutures.

Some people may have weak eyelids or excess tear production which causes partial blockage of the tear drainage system and poor pumping of tears. Tears are very important for the eyes as they maintain health of the eye. A harmless orange dye is placed in the eye to check whether tears drain normally or not. A tube is then placed in the tear drainage system to see whether the tear sac is open. You need to ask your surgeon for complete information on tear duct surgery before undergoing any kind of procedure.

It takes about 1 to 2 hours for this type of eyelid surgery. A patient may be given a local anesthesia during surgery where the patient remains awake but feels no pain. If general anesthesia is used, you are asleep during the surgery. You may take couple of weeks to recover after your surgery. Your doctor may also suggest the use of painkillers to reduce pain caused by the incision. You may also be asked to use iced eye pads to reduce the swelling as well as eye drops to prevent any infections.
