Blepharoplasty or Eyelift Bags, wrinkles or folds, and sags in the eyelids can be smoothed inconspicuously. The incision in the upper eye is made in the natural fold of the eyelid; the lower lid procedure does not have an outside incision. It is done from the inside of the lower eyelid using a special technique. This removes the fat from the lower eyelid but also smooths the skin out without any complications, attendent pain or cosmetic problems associated with external skin excision. This is called TRANSCONJUNCTIVAL blepharoplasty. The removal of excess skin and fat pads offers a rested, youthful appearance.
Usually, swelling and bruising subside within ten days, and then any small scars can be camouflaged with make-up. The scars are designed to blend in with surrounding skin and become perceptible only with close scrutiny after several months have passed.
