To better answer your question, anesthesia is required for all surgical procedures including eyelid surgery. Typically, though eyelid surgery like many other surgeries can be done under local anesthesia without the requirements of general anesthesia or deep sedation that carry some other risks. To do it under local anesthesia, you need to have those areas anesthetized so that you will not have discomfort from the procedure itself. The upper eyelids are very easy and are normally done under local anesthesia; however, most people prefer some sedation for the lower eyelids since it is somewhat more uncomfortable.
