Determining whether a patient is an ideal candidate or not is important to provide the best eyelid surgery in Delhi. Some of the ideal candidates are those:
- Excessive skin on upper eyelids that results in hooding.
- The absence of upper eyelid crease in certain races like orientals and Northeast Indians
- Excess fat on upper eyelids.
- Asymmetrical position of upper eyelids due to trauma or congenital conditions
Ideal candidate for Lower eyelid blepharoplasty

Pre-operative steps
The expert blepharoplasty surgeon in Delhi, Dr. Mrinalini Sharma performs a pre-operative assessment. During this both upper and lower eyelids are examined. The excess skin to be removed from both the upper and lower eyelid is precisely marked out.
Types of anesthesia
This surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia. However, in the cases of both upper and lower eyelids surgery or correction of congenital correction, general anesthesia is required.
Dr. Mrinalini Sharma, the top blepharoplasty surgeon in Delhi, first conducts a proper examination of the patient's overall eye appearance, skin type, and condition. Then she further plans the best method to shape their eyes. During this procedure, anesthesia is administered to comfort the patient. This procedure is less time taking and also provides less downtime. During the surgery, incisions are created on the upper eyelids along with existing creases, and excess skin is removed to improve hooding. In lower lid surgery, a cut is made along with the eyelash line created for the correction of fat pockets and repositioning of tissues to repair hollowing. These incisions can be extended towards the crow’s feet at the side of the eyes. People who have a bag of fat underneath the lower eyelids without excess skin can be removed from the inside of lower eyelids. After the successful removal of excess fat, loose muscles, and drooping skin, all the incisions are sutured. Minimal bruising and inflammation are common and can be resolved over 10-12 days after surgery.
Removal of stitches: 5-7 days
Hospitalization: Not required
