Blepharoplasty is a condition in which excessive skin or tissue in the eyelid causes obstruction of vision. Incisions are made in the natural skin crease of the upper eyelid.

 

Excess skin and fatty tissue is removed and the muscles and orbital septum may be tightened to correct droopy eyelids. The incisions are closed. If your lower eyelids are loose, you may also require a lid tightening procedure.

 

This results in more swelling and a longer recovery.
