How do I know if my lower eyelid is loose?
When performing lower-eyelid surgeries, it is important to ensure that the lower-eyelids are taut. The eyelid may pull down after the surgery causing irritation and dryness of the cornea. To determine whether the lower-eyelid has become too loose, the surgeon will gently tug and pinch the eyelid. If the lower eyelid is difficult to retract, and takes more than one blink to reach its edge on the eyeball it may be loose. If the lower eyelid is loose, a tightening procedure can be performed. The procedure could be combined with lower-eyelid surgeries. Talk about this prior to surgery.
Can this surgery remove bags and wrinkles from my face?

Bags can be seen on cheeks in some cases. The lower eyelids cannot be operated on to correct this condition. Discolored skin is another issue. The surgeon can tell you if the removal of the lower portion of your eyelids is going to help. Dark circles can be caused by dark shadows. This discoloration can be caused by pigments in the skin. In the case of pigment-based discoloration you might need to use additional methods to eliminate the discoloration.

However, bruising and swelling, as well as bleeding, can often limit that. There will be a range of swellings or bruises depending on how the surgery is performed. Your surgeon will tell you how much time to expect away from work or normal life.
