The results tend to be long lasting. It is most common to have this surgery between ages 38 and 50. The procedure is generally done in a hospital outpatient operating room. It is usually performed using local anaesthetic and intravenous sedation, or we can use general anaesthetic depending on individual preference and health factors. For the upper lids, the surgeon makes the incision right in the upper lid skin crease above the eyelashes, so it is very well hidden.
Excess skin is removed.
The excess fat is removed as needed. The incision is sewn together with a very small suture and usually heals quickly with a very insignicant scar. The same occurs for the lower lids. It depends on whether skin needs to be removed and other factors. In either case, the incision is very well hidden and again, fat is removed as needed.
