ROOF Excision
ROOF stands for Retro Orbicularis Oculi Fat, which refers to the fat located in the upper eyelid.
Removing this fat can help reduce puffiness in the upper eyelid, leading to a more refined appearance.
This procedure is typically performed in conjunction with full-incision double eyelid surgery or sub-brow excision.
Anesthesia Method
- Local Anesthesia
Downtime
Bruising usually lasts about 1 to 2 weeks.
Swelling may persist for approximately 1 month.
Possible Symptoms and Issues After Surgery
Swelling, bruising, increased eye discharge, foreign body sensation or discomfort in the eyes, asymmetry, results differing from the desired double eyelid shape, and residual scarring, among others.
