The amount of skin and fat to be removed is determined before surgery, and incision lines are marked along natural skin creases. Incision lines generally extend into the “crow’s feet” or “smile lines” at the outer edge of the eye. Once recovery is complete, the incision lines are less visible because they are camouflaged by these creases. During surgery, excess eyelid skin and fat is removed, your Dermatochalasis is corrected, and the incisions are sutured closed.
