Lower Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty is performed on both the upper and lower eyelids. This section discusses the procedure on the lower eye lids only.
The surgery takes around 1.5 to 3 hours and is performed under a general anaesthetic. It usually involves an overnight stay in hospital though if surgery is being performed on the upper eyelids only, you can return home on the same day.
The incision starts underneath the eyelashes and extends out 1 cm or so outwards into the crow's feet area, the skin is then lifted upwards and outwards, gently tensioning the area and overlapping skin removed. Again the incisions will then be closed with very fine sutures.
