- Upper eyelid: Incision in the upper eyelid is made within the natural crease of the eyelid. It allows the removal or repositioning of fat deposits, tightening of muscles and removal of any excess fat.
- Lower eyelid: Lower eyelid condition can be corrected by making an incision just below the lower lash line.
