As we age, our skin loses elasticity and our muscles weaken, leading to visible signs of aging on the face, particularly around the eyelids. The skin on the upper lids becomes loose, forming folds, while deeper creases develop on the lower lids. Additionally, weakened facial muscles can cause the fat that cushions the eyes to push forward, creating a baggy appearance in the lower lids. An Upper Blepharoplasty is a precise surgical procedure that rejuvenates drooping eyelids, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper eyelids. It corrects droopy lids, reducing puffiness and restoring a more alert, youthful look.

Benefits of Upper Blepharoplasty

Minimal Scarring: Incisions are hidden in natural eyelid creases, reducing visible scarring.

How Does Upper Blepharoplasty Work?

During an upper blepharoplasty, your surgeon makes a small incision along the natural crease of your upper eyelid. Through this incision, excess skin, muscle, and fat are carefully removed. The incision is then closed with fine sutures, minimizing visible scarring. This procedure can significantly reduce drooping and puffiness, improving both aesthetic appearance and in some cases, peripheral vision. Recovery typically involves mild swelling and bruising, which gradually subsides over one to two weeks. The final results are a more youthful and rested appearance, with a natural contour to the eyelid.
