A Surgical Procedure!
Blepharoplasty won't erase dark circles or crow's feet. But it can correct -- bagginess in lower eyelids, or sagging upper eyelids. For some people, blepharoplasty is part of an overall facial rejuvenation that includes laser resurfacing and a forehead lift.

The Procedure:
To work on your upper eyelids, the Plastic Surgeon will make incisions following their natural lines. Through these incisions, the surgeon works to separate the skin from underlying tissue and remove excess fat, skin, and muscle.
A similar surgery of the lower eyelids can be done two ways - either through an incision inside the eyelid, or underneath the eyelid. The incision line will fade fairly quickly.

Common Side Effects:
Some patients experience dry eyes after surgery, but the condition rarely lasts more than two weeks. There may be Swelling, bruising, tightness of eyelids, and excessive tearing.

Complications:
These are rare but do occur bleeding, infection, dry eyes, abnormal discoloration of eyelid skin, abnormal folds in eyelid skin, inability to fully close the eyes, a pulled-down lower lid lash line. Temporary blurred vision or double vision from swelling can occur. In extremely rare situations, there has been postoperative bleeding into the eye that has not been recognized and treated immediately, can cause blindness.

Recovery:
Plan to stay home from work and limit your activities for several days after surgery to give your eyelids a chance to heal.J
