When, on top of the eyelid bags and the extra skin, a droopy eyebrow is presented, a brow lift could be suited, in order to reposition the eyebrows and give brightness to the ocular region.
Upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery lasts about 1 hour and can be performed under local or general anaesthesia. In most cases, the patient can go home a few hours after the surgery.
The incisions of the upper blepharoplasty are placed along the natural wrinkles of the eyelids. The surgeon will evaluate the exact amount of skin and adipose tissue to be removed.
The resulting scar will be barely visible after a few days, to then disappear almost completely after a few months. The stitches will be removed after 5-7 days.
When it comes to lower blepharoplasty, incisions are made 1-2 mm below the eyelashes, or much more frequently within the conjunctiva, which makes it easy to remove the eyelid bags without any skin scar.
