Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat deposits from the upper eyelids. As we age, the skin loses elasticity, which can lead to drooping eyelids, a tired appearance, and, in some cases, a restricted field of vision. This procedure restores a youthful, refreshed look to the eyes and improves function …

How Does the Procedure Work?

1. Anesthesia and Preparation

Upper blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preference and case complexity.
A consultation is done beforehand to assess the eyelids and discuss expectations.

2. Surgical Technique

An incision is made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid, allowing the scar to be discreetly hidden.
Excess skin is removed, and fat deposits are extracted if needed.
The incision is closed with fine absorbable sutures, which are usually removed within a few days.

3. Recovery Period
  • Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal in the first few days

  • Most patients return to daily activities in 7–10 days

  • Final results develop over a few weeks as tissues fully heal

  •  
4. Expected Results

✔ A fresher, well-rested appearance
✔ Reduced heaviness of the upper eyelids
✔ Improved visual field if functional issues were present
✔ Long-lasting and natural-looking results

Who Is a Good Candidate for This Procedure?

  • Men and women with drooping upper eyelids that create a tired or aged appearance
  • Individuals with excess skin obstructing their vision
  • Patients seeking cosmetic enhancement around the eyes
  • People with asymmetry or fat accumulation in the eyelids
