What Is Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty?
Upper Eye Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper eyelids by removing or repositioning excess skin, muscle, and fat. Over time, aging and gravity cause the skin around the eyes to lose elasticity, resulting in droopy or heavy lids that can make the eyes appear tired or aged.
This procedure refines the eye contour, creating a more open and refreshed look. For some individuals, it also helps improve peripheral vision that may be affected by sagging skin. While primarily aesthetic, upper blepharoplasty can combine both cosmetic and functional benefits, enhancing natural eye shape and balance without altering facial identity.
How It Works
Upper Eye Blepharoplasty works by making precise incisions along the natural crease of the upper eyelid, where scars will remain well-hidden. Through these incisions, the doctor at our affiliated clinic carefully removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and sometimes a small amount of muscle to achieve a smoother, firmer eyelid contour. The incisions are then closed with fine sutures to promote natural healing and minimal scarring. The procedure takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, and is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the doctor’s recommendation.
