This procedure rejuvenates a youthful look while clarifying your vision.

What is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty or upper eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure that can also be a medically necessary procedure. Aging causes loss of elasticity in the skin, and a loss of muscle tone, resulting in sagging eyelids that obstruct your line of sight and make you appear older. Blepharoplasty surgically fixes the eyelid area to a more beautiful and refreshed appearance.

Who is a proper candidate?

Any person that indicates the following is an appropriate candidate for upper blepharoplasty:

- Sagging or droopy upper eyelid skin

- Eyelids that block your line of sight

- Good general health who is seeking cosmetic improvement

- Have realistic outcomes of improvement

What is the procedure like?

Upper blepharoplasty is performed under general or local anesthesia and typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour. The surgeon will make an incision along the corresponding crease of the upper eyelid, then through that incision remove or reposition fat, tighten muscle, and reduce skin. The incision is then closed with fine sutures, leaving minimal scarring that blends with the natural eyelid fold.

Benefits of Upper Blepharoplasty:

• Improved peripheral vision
• Enhanced eye contour and symmetry
• A more youthful, rested facial appearance
• Minimal recovery time with long-lasting results
• 
  

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients can return to normal activities within 7–10 days. Mild swelling and bruising may occur but subside quickly with proper care. Post-operative instructions include keeping the area clean, avoiding strenuous activity, and attending follow-up appointments.
