As we get older fatty tissue tends to appear in the lower eyelids, along with wrinkles in the upper eyelids, which are sure signs of aging. This makes you look tired and old, even at quite an early age. Eliminating fatty bags and excess skin of the eyelids brings back an appearance of freshness and youthfulness.
Using local anaesthetics or sedation, we remove skin and fat from the upper eyelid, with the incision concealed in the new eye crease. We also remove fat and sometimes skin of the lower lid. The incision can be external or via the conjunctiva. At the same time, the eyes can be made to appear more slanted, thus giving them more of an almond shape.
In this case outpatient surgery can be performed, requiring no hospital admission. A recovery time between 5 to 7 days is to be expected.
