In an eyelid lift, a distinction is made between an upper eyelid lift and a lower eyelid lift. An upper eyelid lift primarily involves the removal of excess skin. Excess fat may also be removed, especially in older patients. A lower eyelid lift is a little more complicated because the causes can vary. It may be that it is a case of bags under the eyes due to displaced fat or excess skin. However, it can also be a combination of both. The excess (fatty) tissue is removed through an inconspicuous incision on the eyelashes, so that you have a fresher and more alert expression again.
