Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page describes three procedure types Dr. Bajaj offers (source):
- Upper blepharoplasty. Removes excess skin and fat through an incision in the upper-lid crease, closed with thin sutures.
- Lower blepharoplasty. Small incision on the lower-eyelid lash line; fat is removed or the lash line is redraped, with excess skin removed if needed.
- Combination blepharoplasty. Upper and lower eyelids treated in the same procedure.
The page states blepharoplasty may be combined with a brow lift, dermal filler, or facial fat transfer depending on findings, and is typically performed under general anesthesia or sedation, taking 1-2 hours. A separate male blepharoplasty page addresses eyelid surgery for men (source). The photo gallery lists 6 eyelid surgery cases and a separate male blepharoplasty gallery (source, source).
