What is Eyelid & Eye Bag Surgery?
Eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids to improve both appearance and function.
- Lifts droopy upper eyelids
- Removes under-eye bags & puffiness
- Smooths wrinkles around the eyes
- Enhances vision affected by sagging skin
This treatment can be done on:
- Upper eyelids (lift & define)
- Lower eyelids (remove bags)
- Both for complete facial rejuvenation
Procedure Overview
- Duration: 45 minutes – 2 hours
- Anesthesia: Local or General
- Technique: Incisions placed in natural eyelid creases
- Type: Outpatient procedure
Surgeons carefully remove or reposition fat and tighten skin to create a natural, balanced look.
The difference in procedures is the extent of scarring. Flaps are used during a simple lift procedure. Fat transfer is used for patients who desire a more fullness over their buttock area. During the fat transfer procedure, the removed fat is placed deeply within the muscle and in many different layers to create a smooth surface without irregularities. It is common for surgeons to perform liposuction as well to enhance the shape of the buttocks.
Fat grafting has changed buttock enhancement to be a simpler procedure, performed within 1.5 hours, with minimal pain, discomfort, and recovery time. Candidates for this surgery are usually 18 years or older and in good physical health.

If you are a smoker, your surgeon will strongly urge you to quit at least six weeks before your surgery as smoking can interfere with the healing process and the viability of the fat grafts. Also, medications that can increase the risk of bleeding should be stopped. As this surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, it’s important to arrange for transportation.
