Blepharoplasty with canthopexy before and after: hooded eyelids and a sad look, female

This woman in her sixties had excess skin on her upper eyelids, hanging over the lashes, and on the lower ones too, which gave her a droopy, sad look. I performed an upper and lower blepharoplasty to remove that skin and, in the same procedure, a canthopexy to lift the outer corner of the eye. Local anaesthesia with sedation and one week of recovery. In the closed-eye photo you can see the upper scar, hidden in the eyelid crease and still slightly pink because the picture is recent. More about this surgery on the blepharoplasty page.

• Techniques: upper and lower blepharoplasty to remove excess skin and Canthopexy to elevate droopy look.
• Surgery performed under local anaesthesia and deep sedation.
• Recovery period: 1 week.
