In case of upper eyelid a surgeon cuts a skin in natural skin fold. Then gets rid of unwanted fat tissue, skin and muscle and finally stitch the skin. On the incision the surgeon puts some plasters to protects the wound.

In case of lower eyelid surgery a surgeon performs the incision in the line just below the lower lashes. The excess of fat tissue, skin and muscle is cut away. The edges of the wound are stitched together and plasters are put on to the wound to protect it. Both lower and upper eyelids can be lifted together during the same procedure.
