Eyelid Lift Can the Eyelid Lift also be performed as a one-day surgery?
Yes. Lifting of the eyelids is usually performed as one-day surgery, under local anaesthesia and the patient can leave the clinic on the same day. If, however, the surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, an overnight stay at the hospital is required. Surgeons usually prefer local anaesthesia, so that during the surgery certain eye movements can be tracked. This can contribute to an optimal result.
