Upper Blepharoplasty:
A Quick Solution for Rejuvenating Your Eyes

Woman with long blonde hair and natural makeup.

Upper blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic technique that removes extra skin and fat from the upper eyelids. It helps to reduce sagging eyelids, puffiness, and even vision impairment caused by drooping lids, giving in a more youthful and alert appearance.

Why Choose Upper Blepharoplasty?

This procedure is ideal for those experiencing:

  • Sagging or drooping upper eyelids.
  • Puffiness caused by fat deposits.
  • Vision obstruction from excess skin.
  • A desire for a refreshed, youthful look.

By removing excess tissue and tightening the eyelid area, upper blepharoplasty creates a more open and youthful eye shape.

What to Expect

The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia. I will make small incisions in the natural eyelid fold to remove excess skin and fat. Recovery is quick, with most patients returning to normal activities in about 7-10 days.

Are You a Candidate for Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty addresses excess skin, drooping eyelids, and puffiness on the upper eyelids, offering a refreshed and more youthful appearance. But how can you tell if you’re a candidate?

1. Ideal Candidates

  • Good health: No significant medical conditions.
  • Realistic expectations: Understand what the procedure can and can't achieve.
  • No serious eye conditions: Conditions like dry eyes or glaucoma may disqualify you.

2. Common Concerns Treated

  • Excess skin, drooping eyelids, and puffiness can be improved, enhancing your overall facial expression.

3. Age Considerations

  • Often sought by those 35 and older, but some younger patients with genetic issues may also benefit.

4. Non-Surgical Alternatives

  • If concerns are minimal, non-invasive treatments like Botox or lasers may be options.

Risks and Recovery

While the procedure is generally safe, potential risks include infection, scarring, and changes in eyelid function. Follow post-operative care instructions carefully to minimize these risks. Results are typically seen within a few weeks, with final results visible after 3-6 months.
