Will blepharoplasty change the shape of my eye?
Answer:
The blepharoplasty procedure, or eye lift, is performed to improve the look of the eyelids. When done on the upper eyelids, the excess skin is removed to give the eyelid a more rested appearance. The lower eyelid surgery is done to remove the “bags” under the eyes. These bags are composed of fat. I now remove some of the fat and actually preserve and “relocate” some of the fat. This procedure also gives the eyes a more rested appearance. These procedures should not change the shape of the eyelid.
