Once
tissue amount to be removed is determined by your doctor,
the incisions are made in the folds and contours of the upper
lids, so they are barely visible. In the lower lids the incisions
are usually made under the lash line and along smile wrinkles
to conceal fine scars. Incisions can also be made inside the
eyelid when done to to remove bags only, thus totally eliminating
all visible scarring. Very fine sutures close the surgical
wounds and moist dressings are placed over the eyes followed
by cold packs to reduce bruising and swelling. The procedure,
by itself, can take from an hour to an hour and a half.
