Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift or browlift.
Eyelid surgery (technically called blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove fat--usually along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids.

 Blepharoplasty
Vision obstruction is an indication for a therapeutic blepharoplasty.
The impetus for pursuing the transconjunctival approach has been the desire to overcome the spectrum of post-operative lower eyelid retraction problems, which progress from scleral show to frank ectropion, the theory being that avoiding dissection through the orbicularis and septum, the risk of rounding and scleral show may be reduced.
Another is that the correction of the dermatochalasis alleviates the patient's need to keep the eyebrows elevated and, as a result, the forehead musculature relaxes and the eyebrows descend bilaterally.

 Plastic surgery - eyelid lift (blepharoplasty)
Dr. O'Connell believes that all blepharoplasties should be fat sparing in nature to prevent a malnourished, harsh appearance postoperatively -- this is in keeping with his philosophy that "less is more" and that all aesthetic surgery should be conservative in nature.
By combining laser resurfacing with blepharoplasty, Dr. O'Connell is able to achieve a more complete rejuvenation of the periorbital area (the area around the eye and eyelids) which he believes should be the goal of eyelid surgery.
A blepharoplasty will not eradicate the wrinkles around the eyes (crows feet) and these are usually best treated by other means such as laser resurfacing or Botox™.
