Are there incisions or scars from Blepharoplasty procedures?
Dr. Metzinger usually makes incisions using plastic surgery techniques along the natural creases of your upper and lower eyelids, which heal very nicely and usually do not form scars. He removes excess fat, soft tissue and skin and closes the incisions using very fine sutures. The eyelid surgery incisions are made to accomplish the goals of the procedure and are barely visible after several months as they are placed within the normal creases of the upper and lower eyelids. Some patients only need removal of fat and we choose to place our incisions inside the lower eyelids only.
