How It Works

01

Consultation

Eyelid skin, fat, and overall eye health are assessed, including a review of any existing eye conditions.

02

Anesthesia

Usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation, on an outpatient basis.

03

Reshaping

Incisions are placed in the natural eyelid crease of the upper lid, or just below the lashes of the lower lid, and excess skin or fat is removed or repositioned.

04

Closure

Fine sutures close the incisions, keeping scarring minimal and well hidden in natural creases.

Good candidates

  • Excess or drooping eyelid skin, or under-eye puffiness, affecting appearance or vision
  • No serious active eye disease
  • Realistic expectations about a more rested, open eye appearance

Discuss alternatives if

  • You have glaucoma, dry eye, thyroid eye disease, or a cardiovascular condition — these should be discussed with your surgeon beforehand
  • You currently smoke, which can affect healing

Preparing for Your Procedure

A full eye and medical history review, including any existing eye conditions
Avoid blood thinners and aspirin as directed
Arrange a ride home, as this is outpatient surgery

Recovery

First 48–72 hours

Swelling and bruising around the eyes peak during this window.

1 week

Sutures are typically removed and bruising continues to fade.

7–10 days

Most people feel comfortable returning to normal daily activities.

Following weeks

Any residual swelling settles fully, revealing the final result.

Risks & Important Considerations

Risks include bleeding, infection, dry or irritated eyes, and, rarely, changes in eyelid position or vision. Any existing eye conditions are reviewed carefully beforehand, since they can affect both the plan and the risks involved.
