Surgery Performed?
procedure largely depends on the cosmetic goals of the operation and your
specific features.
Upper eyelids
Typically, the incision begins within the natural crease of the eye's inside
corner and extends slightly beyond the outside corner into the crow's feet
or laugh lines. Through this incision, excess skin and fatty tissue are
removed. The incision line follows the natural contour of the upper eyelid,
and is camouflaged when healed.
Lower eyelids
Usually the incision is concealed just below the lower lashes. Through this
incision, excess skin, muscle and fat are removed. Special adjustments
may also be made. For example, the fat beneath the eye can be
redistributed to eliminate puffiness, bulges, or improve the semicircular
hollowing seen beneath the eye. In some patients, the underlying muscle
will be tightened.
Dr. Behmand may decide that the best approach for removing fat from the
lower eyelid is with a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. In this procedure,
an incision is placed inside the lower eyelid. This technique requires no
external incisions, but it cannot be used to remove excess skin. Laser
resurfacing or chemical peel is sometimes used in conjunction with this
procedure to minimize fine wrinkles near the eyes.
