Eyelid lift surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure that involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. The muscle can also be tightened with laser.
This surgery can be performed for both cosmetic and functional purposes, and can be done under local anesthesia, which means the patient is awake but the area being treated is numb. In addition a light sedation is possible.
One of the main aesthetic benefits of an eyelid lift is that it can rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes. As we age, the skin around the eyes becomes lax and saggy, and the underlying muscles can weaken, causing the appearance of excess skin and fat in the upper and lower eyelids. This gives a tired look to people .
An eyelid lift can help to remove this excess skin and fat, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

A lower eyelid lift often requires also a correction of mid face sagging or hollowness.
In addition to the aesthetic benefits, an eyelid lift can also have functional benefits. For some people, excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids can obstruct their vision, causing them to feel tired or strained. An eyelid lift can help to improve vision and alleviate these symptoms. Often the lateral vision is affected first.
The safety of blepharoplasty under local anesthesia depends on several factors, including the experience and expertise of the surgeon, the overall health of the patient, and the specific technique used. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon who has a proven track record of success with blepharoplasty procedures. It is also important to follow all post-operative instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome and minimize any potential complications.
