In some cases, both upper and eyelid surgery procedures may be performed together. It is critically important to choose an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon for blepharoplasty procedure. Eyes are the most delicate external organ in the body, and any surgery related to eyes should be performed only by an expert.

Results

Eyelid surgery can make the eyes appear rested and rejuvenated. The signs of aging around the eyes will be reduced, and the face can appear more youthful. However, the results will become visible gradually as the swelling and bruising resolves. Within a few weeks, the patient will be able to notice well-defined eyelids and smoother and tighter surrounding area.
