This involves removal of excess fat, skin, and muscle from the eyelid, which can cause a patient to look older and more tired than they feel. This procedure can be performed either on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. For the upper eyelid, surgery can correct sagging upper eyelids (or hooding over the eyes) that could interfere with your vision. It can also correct puffy bags below the eyes. As a result of eyelid surgery, you can gain a youthful and more alert appearance. You and the doctor will discuss as to which eyelids will be treated, whether it is all the eyelids, or just the upper or lower eyelids. As a note, if you wear glasses or contact lenses, you should provide the doctor and staff with any relevant information from your ophthalmologist or the record of your most recent eye exam during your consultation.
