The operation
The lower eyelid surgery usually lasts approximately 30 minutes, depending on the area of correction. The operation is performed at our state-of-the-art clinic. Prior to the operation the patient is given a local anaesthetic.
An incision is made down the lash line that permits the surgeon to remove any excess skin or fat. Sutures are used to close the incision and remain there for 3 to 5 days after the operation.
After the operation
For the first night after the operation it is important that the head be elevated and cold compresses applied to the eyes in order to reduce swelling. If you are sensitive to pain, you can ask for a mild painkiller. For the first few days you may experience a stretched sensation around your eyes, your surgeon may also prescribe a special cream to be used for lubricating your eyes and eliminating any sensation of dryness.
Even if the recovery period is short, your eyes may be sensitive for some time. Doctors advise patients not to do any strenuous activities for a while after the lower eyelid surgery.
