The next step is for the patient to be sedated. At this point, their eyelid will be flipped to measure the ideal crease. Then, the eyelid will be flipped back and a design will be drawn on the eye. Once the design has been drawn the patient will receive a local anesthetic.

Depending on the doctor, a patients sedative may wear off at this time or they may continue sleeping throughout the procedure.

Once the anesthetic has been administered, the doctor will carefully trace their design with a scalpel and remove the skin from the area.

With the final stitches in place the surgery is over! The patient will be able to open their eyes immediately afterwards and the whole procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

Due to the surgery, the patients eyes will swell. They will need to keep the area disinfected and apply ice to reduce the swelling. Patients will also often experience bruising from the event.
