Upper Lid Lifts (Blepharoplasty) CAN be done under
- local anesthesia,
- local anesthesia supplemented by either anxiety calming pills OR anxiety calming intravenous medication and finally
- under general anesthesia.

The mode of anesthesia depends on your wishes and what if any other procedures are done as well.
