Eyelid surgery in Dubai can be performed using various techniques which include:

• Upper eyelid surgery: It is performed on upper eyelids to remove the sagging skin, excess fat and lines.
• Lower eyelid surgery: It is performed on lower eyelids to remove puffiness, fine lines and under eye bags.
• Combined upper and lower eyelid surgery: When surgery is performed on both the eyelids simultaneously, it is called combined upper and lower blepharoplasty.

Possible Complications

Experiencing temporary inability to close your eyelids completely is one of the most common complications that you might experience as a result of getting this procedure.
