Blepharoplasty procedure includes

Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery procedure includes the following steps:

Generally this surgery is performed under Local Anaesthesia but can be opted to be done under General Anaesthesia if you are not comfortable with Local Anaesthesia.
An incision is made in the second step of the surgery. Usually these incisions are made with such fineness so that the scars after the surgery can be concealed with the natural crease of the eyelid region. So, for the upper eyelid,
incision is made within the natural crease of the eye lid. This incision allows removal of excess skin. Repositioning of the fat deposits and fat excision is only done in very rare cases. In the lower eyelid region, the incision is
made just below the lower eye lash. Redraping of fat present below the eye is done over the cheek in such a way that it gives a uniform and levelled appearance. Excess skin is removed through this incision, with the proper
positioning or removal of the excess fat.
Third step includes the closing of the incision with the help of sutures. These sutures will be removed after a week of the surgery. Usually during the eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty, cold compress or the lubricating ointment is
applied. Sometimes it is covered with gauze dressing, after the surgery is finished.
Fourth or last step includes observation of the result, which can only be seen clearly after the swelling and bruising subsides.
