How the Procedure Is Performed

  1. Upper eyelid

    Upper blepharoplasty involves removing excess skin and sometimes fat through an incision placed in the natural crease of the eyelid, which is invisible once healed.

  2. Lower eyelid

    Lower blepharoplasty treats under-eye bags either through a skin incision (under the eyelashes) or a transconjunctival approach (no visible scar, incision inside the eyelid).

  3. Fat repositioned or removed

    Fat is repositioned or removed as needed.
