How long does upper/ lower eyelid surgery take?

The upper and lower Blepharoplasty surgery is a complicated procedure which should be done by experts and not any surgeon. Since its very close to the eyes, great care should be taken not to damage the cornea or conjunctiva at any stage of the procedure. Normally average time taken for upper/lower blepharoplasty ranges from 30-45 minutes and is easily done under local anaesthesia.

Can Upper Eyelid surgery change vision?

Upper Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty not only improves the aesthetic outcome of the patients opting for the same but only improves the vision especially in elderly patients since not only the excess skin excised but also the herniated fat which created pressure on the upper eyelid causing vision problems. So this is an excellent procedure both for aesthetic and functional reasons which the patients should ideally consider and not be afraid to take.
