As a process of aging, eyelids become thin and lose elasticity causing them to sag and fold. The eyeball is surrounded by fat tissue to cushion the eyes. With time the fat behind the eyeballs moves forward, causing the baggy look on the eyes. If it increases beyond limit it starts to disturb vision and also makes usage of glasses or lenses difficult. Blepharoplasty is performed by the plastic surgeon under general anesthesia and usually doesn t require hospital stay. Your doctor might guide you to eliminate medications such as aspirin before the surgery and to avoid eating or drinking before a few hours of the surgery.
