Where is the anesthesia administered for double eyelid surgery?

Generally, double eyelid surgery refers to blepharoplasty, for which anesthesia is usually administered via local injection into the upper eyelid. Blepharoplasty involves designing an incision at an appropriate position on the upper eyelid, removing part of the orbicularis oculi muscle, fat tissue, and attaching the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate at the desired height to create a double eyelid crease, thereby shaping the double eyelid appearance. The general reference price for blepharoplasty ranges from 1000 to 6000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is typically observed 1 to 3 months after surgery, although symptoms such as redness and swelling, and pain may occur. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Infiltration anesthesia is usually performed in the subcutaneous tissue and beneath the orbicularis oculi muscle of the upper eyelid. Since the main surgical area of blepharoplasty is the upper eyelid, injecting anesthetic into this area can render the skin and muscles of the upper eyelid painless during surgery, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the procedure. During the injection, the surgeon will evenly administer the anesthetic into the corresponding area according to the designed incision location and extent, to achieve effective anesthesia. For some more complicated cases or patients who are particularly sensitive to pain, additional injections of anesthetic may be given as needed during the surgery.

It is recommended to visit a regular hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of qualified and experienced physicians to ensure the safety and reliability of the surgery. After surgery, it is important to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppers, mustard, and seafood, which may easily cause allergic reactions.
