Blepharoplasty, eyelid reductiony

This operation removes the surplus skin and fat to give a more youthful appearance to patients.

Sometimes it's only necessary to reduce the skin, sometimes the skin and the fat and sometimes just the fat, depending on the appearance of the individual patient undertaking the surgery.

If only fat is being removed from the lower eyelids, then this can be removed during eyelid surgery from the inside of the lower eyelid, making an external excision.
