The operation of removing excess skin on the eyelids (blepharoplasty) is a procedure that significantly changes and rejuvenates the face.
During the operation, excess skin and sometimes even fat tissue are removed from the eyelids. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and it takes about an hour.
Before the procedure, the eyelids and the targeted excess skin are thoroughly measured and sketched. After that, a local anesthetic is applied with subcutaneous injection, almost painlessly. After the removal of excess skin comes stitching. The cut on the eyelids is placed on the natural creases, so the place of the incision is invisible. Also, removal or redistribution of the moved fatty tissue can be performed.
