Is muscle around eyes excised during blepharoplasty?

qning
I am planing to have upper and lower blepharoplasty to remove eye bags and extra skin on upper lids. Is any muscle around eyes affected, excised or partially excised during the operation? I am doing eye exercises daily to improve my vision (bates method) and want to continue doing so.
