Blepharoplasty in Indiana

Eyelid surgery can be performed on the upper and lower eyelids. Upper eyelid surgery involves the removal of skin and some of the fat that surrounds the eye. If brow position low, a forehead lift may also be indicated at the same time as the upper eyelid surgery. Lower eyelid surgery also involves the removal of excess skin and fat. In some instances, only one or the other may need to be removed in order to achieve the look desired. Sometimes, laser resurfacing of the lower eyelid is performed at the same time that fat is removed. When lower eyelid skin is removed, it is done so via an incision made directly below the eyelash margin. A tightening of the lower eyelid may also be necessary in order to preserve and possibly improve the position of the lower eyelid in relation to the iris. This procedure is known as a canthopexy.
