In upper eyelid surgery, the incision usually begins within the natural fold at the inner corner of the eye and may extend slightly past the outer corner toward the crow’s feet or smile lines. This cut follows the natural shape of the upper eyelid, making it nearly invisible once it heals. The cosmetic surgeon uses this incision to remove any excess skin and fat, enhancing the eyelid’s firm and smooth appearance.

For the lower eyelid procedure, the incision is generally concealed just below the eyelashes. This placement allows for the removal of surplus skin, muscle, and fat, refining the contour of the lower eyelid for a rejuvenated look. Fat may also be redistributed to smooth out any puffiness or irregularities. Occasionally, tightening of the underlying muscle may be necessary. In specific patients, a transconjunctival method is an option, involving an incision inside the lower eyelid, which leaves no external scar. However, even when the incision is below the lash line, any scars are typically barely noticeable.
