Eyelid Surgery Benefits and Procedure Details

Whether you want to enhance your appearance or are experiencing vision problems as a result of reduced skin elasticity, eyelid surgery is a safe and effective treatment. Specific eyelid conditions that this procedure can treat are:

  • Sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes obstructing vision
  • Bags under the eyes
  • Drooping lower eyelids that reveal white below the iris
  • Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid

Eyelid surgery often calls for the removal of excess skin, muscle, and underlying fatty tissue, so patients may need about two weeks to fully recover and resume their usual activities. Typically, you are a good candidate if you are healthy and have no medical conditions that can impair healing. If you have eye conditions such as glaucoma, dry eye, or a detached retina, you should tell your doctor during your evaluation for surgery.
