Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. Removes a portion of fat through an eyelid-crease incision "to achieve a natural looking and full upper eyelid." Duration about one hour, sutures out at five days (source).
- Asian double eyelid surgery. Creates an upper eyelid fold for patients who lack one naturally (same page).
- Lower blepharoplasty. Internal (transconjunctival) incision when no skin removal is needed; external incision just under the lashes when skin removal is needed; can include fat repositioning for the tear trough, with optional laser resurfacing (source).
- Site distinguishes blepharoplasty from brow lift as requiring "completely different" surgical approaches.
