What does eyelid surgery involve?

Upper eyelid surgery involves an incision made roughly one centimetre above your eyelashes in the natural crease line, and extending out to the crow's feet area, excess skin and unwanted fat are removed before closing the area with fine sutures.

Lower lid surgery involves an incision below the eyelashes and out to the laughter lines or crow's feet. The skin is elevated and any excess fat or tissue is removed or redraped, and the cheek is often carefully lifted for optimal results. The skin is then lifted upwards and outwards to make sure there is sufficient tension in the area before the incisions are sewn.
