Therefore, a person might look tired, old. Eyelid surgery will help improve this condition making the under-eye area fresher, smoother, and more youthful.

The surgeon makes a small incision in the lower eyelids, removes excess skin or fat, and then stitches the lower eyelids back by fixing them tightly. It makes lower eyelids look far less puffy and saggy.

The procedure is conducted under local anesthesia. The patient will be half asleep and half awake during the procedure.

The doctor’s main goal during the procedure is to improve eyelid puffiness or sagginess, dark circles, and wrinkles under the eyes.

Lower eyelid surgery is a relatively simple outpatient procedure. After the surgery, the patients will be given post-surgery instructions such as application of ice or cold compresses for two days.

Also, it is recommended not to do any strenuous physical exercises. You can resume them in 2~3 weeks after the stitches are removed.
