Upper Eyelid Surgery is usually a day-only procedure, but when both upper and lower eyelid surgery is performed it usually involves an overnight stay in hospital.

Upper eyelid incisions are hidden in natural creases, while lower eyelid incisions usually run just under the eyelash line. Both incisions may extend into the crows feet (smile lines) at the outer edge of the eye.

During the surgery, Dr. Sellars will separate the skin from underlying fatty tissue and muscle, remove excess fat and trim sagging skin. The muscle may be trimmed or tightened with sutures. The incisions are then closed with very fine sutures.

Surgical scars will be situated in the upper eyelid crease or just under the lower lashes, and are therefore inconspicuous.

The Surgery usually takes one to three hours if you're having all four eyelids done, or half that time if you are only having upper or lower eyelid surgery alone.
