With increasing age, excess of skin gets formed around the eyes and the skin also loses elasticity. Fatty tissues get accumulated under the skin and the eyes start to look older due to the appearance of wrinkles and puffs around the eyes. Sometimes genetic factors and body behaviour may cause effects of aging in people. Plastic surgery, in such a scenario, helps in restoring a youthful appearance to the eyes. Blepharoplasty is a process using which excess of fat, skin and muscle from the eyelids are removed.

Physically healthy and emotionally stable people are the best candidates for this kind of a surgery. Patient choosing blepharoplasty should be at least 35 years of age. People having dry eye, hypothyroidism, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, glaucoma should not go for this procedure.

Sometimes people also go for alternative treatments like going for chemical and laser treatments for wrinkles, forehead or eyebrow lift to give a better appearance to the area around the eye.

For blepharoplasty, the patients are usually briefed about their eating and drinking habits inorder to facilitate a smooth surgery. Prior to the surgery, patients are asked to avoid certain medications like aspirin and Vitamin E.

Local anesthesia is usually used during the eyelid surgery. Anesthesia and oral sedatives numbs surrounding area of the eyes, making the patient relaxed and insensitive to the pain.

The entire procedure takes from one to three hours to complete in total. However, the procedure is delicate which should be carried out by experts.
