Patients often ask whether upper and lower blepharoplasty can be done at the same time.
Yes, they can. There are some considerations worth knowing about beforehand.
Upper blepharoplasty typically refers to the procedure for older patients with redundant, sagging upper-lid skin. We excise the loose skin and create a crease that hides the resulting incision.
As shown above, we trim the redundant skin and tuck the incision into the new crease. Lower blepharoplasty addresses the bulging lower-lid fat through repositioning, and trims any redundant skin.
It is for patients who present with a visible fat bulge under the eyes.
