During a Blepharoplasty, Dr. Sarah and Vanessa Wong will remove and reposition excess skin and fat surrounding the upper and lower eyelids. Not all patients require both upper and lower eyelid surgery, but these surgeries can be performed together when indicated.
Upper Blepharoplasty
During an upper blepharoplasty, the incision line is measured and marked along the upper crease of the eyelid. After the desired excision is accomplished, dissolvable stitches are used to suture the skin closed.
Lower Blepharoplasty
A lower blepharoplasty is slightly more complicated than an upper blepharoplasty and requires an incision just below the eyelash line that runs along the corner of the eye. Excess skin, muscle and fat below the eye are removed and repositioned. The remaining skin is draped tightly along the contour of the eye before the incision line is sutured close.
