Upper : Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is done quite commonly as an office based procedure. Lower eyelid surgery is less commonly done this way, depending on what is planned.

Blepharoplasty: Blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia or in the hospital under general. it depends on your surgeon's preference. Have your eyelids evaluated by a board certified surgeon with expertise in these procedures.

Office or hospital: Simple upper lid blepharoplasty is commonly performed in the office. More complex procedures may be performed in either the office or outpatient center. Overnight stays are rarely necessary.
