Blepharoplasty
About the procedure
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct excess eyelid skin, muscle, or fat for functional or cosmetic purposes. It can improve the visual field in cases of upper eyelid redundancy, reduce eyelid heaviness, or rejuvenate the eyelid appearance. The surgery involves making skin crease incisions on the upper or lower lids, removing or repositioning fat and skin, and is performed under local or general anaesthesia. Small dissolvable sutures are typically used. Preoperative assessment includes visual field testing, eyelid measurements, photography, and evaluation for anaesthesia fitness. Postoperative care ensures proper healing and minimal complications.
