WHAT IS EYELID LIFT SURGERY?
Eyelid lift is a surgical procedure that tightens the eyelids by removing sagging skin and accumulated fat from both the lower and upper eyelids and reshaping them to fit the appearance of the eyes. The surgery, involving the upper and lower eyelids, takes about two hours.
There are also some low-risk side effects such as swelling, which disappears in 1-2 weeks. The effects of the upper eyelid last 5-7 years, while the lower eyelid surgery lasts longer and is rarely performed again.
