The incisions may extend into the crow’s feet or lines that are formed when smiling at the outer corners of your eyes. Working through these incisions, the surgeon separates the skin from underlying fatty tissue and muscle, removes excess fat, and often trims sagging skin and muscle. The incisions with very fine sutures close.
If you have a pocket of fat beneath your lower eyelids but do not need to remove the skin is likely that your surgeon perform a blefaroplastia. In this procedure the incision is made inside the lower eyelid, leaving no visible scar. This is usually performed on younger patients with thicker, more elastic skin.

Most of the complications that may occur are avoidable if proper surgical indication is made and if a technique is used correctly, and are treatable if you act quickly at the same time start to appear.
The Blefaroplastia usually it performed under local anesthesia, without admission to the clinic.
