Aging or some structural conditions can cause sagging in the tissues of the upper and lower eyelids and loosening of the skin. Especially sagging in the upper eyelid can be so much that it narrows the field of vision of the person. Surgical correction of this condition provides both a more aesthetic appearance and a widening of the field of vision.
This procedure can be performed in the office. Before local anesthesia, marking is done to decide how much tissue will be removed. The eyelid is given its new appearance with shaping of the skin, muscle and fat tissues. The procedure time is approximately 1 hour for the upper eyelid. With aesthetic stitches, the incision scar is almost invisible. Swelling and bruising are seen in the first 3-4 days, this stage is also quickly overcome with some recommendations. The patient can start working after 3-4 days.
