Eyelid Surgery

Introduction

The eyelid surgery is a type of cosmetic surgery, also known as Blepharoplasty. Mostly performed for cosmetic reasons, this eyelid surgery is done to correct the lower and upper eyelids. Sometimes it will be performed to improve vision in older patients. It is also useful to remove the excess skin, adipocyte fat region and excess tissues around the eye region.

Types of Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty:

Cosmetic Blepharoplasty
This process will be performed either on the lower eyelid or upper eyelid, or sometimes both will be done. Based on the lower eyelid blepharoplasty type either the excess fat will be removed or excess skin in the lower eyelid will be removed.

Functional Blepharoplasty
This process will be done when your vision is affected by excess skin. With an HVF – Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer doctors can detect how much your vision has affected.
