Eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure that may be performed in a surgeon’s office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or a hospital. Dr. Somenek can perform the upper eyelid surgery in his office.
Several options exist for anesthesia during a blepharoplasty. Upper blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia. To address both the upper and lower eyelids, sedation or general anesthesia is preferred, as this is more comfortable.
