How Dr Porcaro Performs Blepharoplasty:

You will take a sleeping pill when you come for the procedure and have an intravenous inserted "just in case". Dr Porcaro will carefully mark the areas to be treated before the procedure. The eyelid skin will be put to sleep. Excess skin and any excess fat will be removed from an incision in your natural skin crease, leaving no noticeable scar. 

When the quality of the lower eyelid skin is reasonably good the excess fat of the lower eyelid can be removed thru a small incision in the inside of the lower lid, so it's possible to treat this area without any incision on the outside!  

Alternatively, for patients with no significant skin redundancy, excess lower eyelid fat can be delivered thru microincisions made directly over the fat pads, leading to an excellent cosmetic result without the risks inherent with skin removal of the lower eyelid.
