Once anesthesia is given comes the procedure of actual operation. During the procedure, the surgeon would make incisions on the patient's eyelids (whether upper or lower or both eyelids, depending on the discussion made between the patient and the surgeon before the treatment). The incision for upper eyelids is made in the creases of upper lids and for lower eyelids incision is made just below the lashes.

Besides the changes made in upper and lower eyelids, plastic surgeon would also extend incision to the laugh lines at the corner of the patient’s eyes, so as to reduce the appearance.

Once the incisions are made, surgeon would separate the skin from the tissues and remove the excessive fat in and around the eyes. Later when fat is being removed from the eyes, the surgeon would close the incisions using fine sutures.

This is basically performed on younger patients who have elastic skin and incisions are made inside the lower eyelid, since only fat is needed to be removed.
