Your doctor would provide you with the necessary information as to what should be done to give you a younger look. During the aesthetic surgery of the upper eyelid, the sagging skin of the eyelid and excess muscle and eye bags would be removed. The incision is made in a way to overlap with the natural folding of the eyelid so as to hide the scars.

With the aesthetic operation of the lower eye lid, incision is made right under the eyelashes and excess skin, muscle and eye bags are removed. However in patients who have both eye bags on the lower eyelids and pockets under these eye bags, excess fat is not removed but it is moved to these pockets instead. In this case, your doctor might recommend you an additional surgical intervention such as stretching of the middle face area. what should be done to give you a younger look.

Upper eye lid aesthetic operation is carried out under local anesthesia. And if it will be carried out at the same time with lower eyelid operation, in addition to local anesthesia, sedation anesthesia or general anesthesia can be preferred.If local anesthesia was used, before being discharged from the hospital, the patient would be kept under monitoring for a few hours by putting cold compresses on the eyes in order to have less swellings and bruises after the operation. The patient would be recommended to apply cold compression on the eyes and keep his/her head high. The stitches on the eyelids are usually removed on the fifth day. It takes 2-3 weeks for the bruises and swellings around the eyes to heal.

Eye lid aesthetic surgery does not remove the dark shades and goose feet lines around the eyes. It does not help lift sagged eye brows. Thus, your doctor can recommend additional interventions such as eyebrow lifting for the sagged eyebrows or Botox for goose feet lines. 

What are some undesirable conditions that might occur after the surgery?

The most feared complication is a bleeding in deep tissues which may damage the eyes and cause temporary or permanent loss of vision. Any suspicion as to such bleeding necessitates early intervention. However this is extremely rare and there are only a limited number of cases with such bleeding in the literature.

Another complication is sagging of the lower eyelids. In such cases, a second intervention might be necessary after a certain period.
