WHO ARE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY?

Upper blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. Ideal candidates for upper blepharoplasty are individuals bothered by drooping or heavy upper eyelids, which may cause a tired or aged appearance. Good candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure, and be bothered by excess skin or puffiness in the upper eyelids that cannot be improved with non-surgical treatments. Whether you're seeking to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance or improve vision obstructed by sagging eyelid skin, upper blepharoplasty can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

THE PROCEDURE

During an upper blepharoplasty procedure, our experienced plastic surgeon will carefully remove excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper eyelids to create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. Incisions are strategically placed within the natural creases of the upper eyelids to minimize visible scarring. Our goal is to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your eyelid contour and restore a more open and alert appearance to your eyes. Whether you're bothered by heavy, drooping eyelids or wish to address asymmetry or puffiness in the upper eyelids, our customized approach to upper blepharoplasty ensures optimal outcomes tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

EXPECTED RESULTS AND RECOVERY

Following upper blepharoplasty, patients can expect to see a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their upper eyelids, with reduced sagging, puffiness, and wrinkles. While individual results may vary, many patients experience a significant enhancement in their overall facial aesthetics and self-confidence. During the recovery period, temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common and typically subside within a week. Patients are advised to follow all post-operative instructions diligently, including proper wound care and avoiding strenuous activities to facilitate optimal healing and results. As the healing process progresses, the final results of upper blepharoplasty become more apparent, revealing a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance that enhances your natural beauty and restores a more youthful vitality to your eyes.
