Is muscle around eyes excised during blepharoplasty?

September 5, 2016
Asked By:qning in Houston, TX

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.
