One of the most popular cosmetic surgeries today is the eyelid lift. This surgery is designed to help reduce signs of aging around the eyes, including wrinkles, saggy skin and other related features.
Eyelid lifts are done in one of several ways. They are most often performed by means of a single incision above each eye. The cosmetic surgeon will then utilize small surgical tools to manipulate the tissue and muscle underneath the surface of the skin. By tightening the muscle, the surgeon will provide a smoother, younger look. Most eyelid lifts are done with a general anesthetic, though it's also possible for the procedure to be done while the patient is under the influence of a local anesthetic.
There are few risks to this procedure when performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon, but it's important to recognize that there are still some potential complications. Loss of motion of the eyelid or loss of feeling in the area are some of the most serious concerns. It's also possible to have a negative reaction to the medicines used in the procedure or the anesthetic that is used to numb the area.
