The surgery takes about an hour and is typically performed under local anesthesia. You may also be offered a sedative.
Heavy upper eyelids
The incision is made in the globe line. Remove excess skin, muscle and fat. Sew the tissue together with a thin nylon thread. A narrow strip of plaster is placed on top.
Bags under the eyes
If there is excess fat and plenty of skin, the incision is made along the lash line and excess skin, muscle and fat are removed. Sew the tissue with a few nylon threads. A narrow strip of plaster is placed on top of this. If excess skin and fat are located towards the cheek, the incision is made here.
If you only have bags under the eyes without excess skin, the incision is made in the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid so that you do not scar the skin. Excess fat is removed and the wound heals spontaneously without stitches.
