EYELID LIFT STAGES
The eyelid lift has three simple stages:
- Anesthesia: It is to ensure that the patient is comfortable and does not feel any pain during the operation. The patient is given either local or general anesthesia. Usually, the doctor chooses the best type of anesthesia, which fits the patient.
- Surgical incision: In general, the incision lines are planned accurately so that the scars can be hidden within the natural lines of the eyelid. For the upper eyelid, the doctor tightens it by making a surgical incision within the natural lines of the eyelid, removing or repositioning the excess fat under the skin, as well as tightening the muscles and getting rid of the sagging skin. For the lower eyelid, the incision is made under the lower lash line to remove or reposition the fat consistently.
- Incision closing: The incision is closed by stitches, then removed after one week.
