Upper Blepharoplasty (Upper Eyelid Surgery)

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin from the upper eyelids. The procedure aims to improve the appearance of drooping or hooded upper eyelids creating a more alert and youthful appearance.

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin, and sometimes excess fat and muscle, from the upper eyelids. The procedure aims to improve the appearance of drooping or hooded upper eyelids and, in some cases, to improve vision when excess skin obstructs the upper visual field.

The surgery can provide a more refreshed, alert, and youthful appearance while maintaining the natural characteristics of the eyes.

Who is Suitable for Upper Blepharoplasty?

You may be a suitable candidate if you have one or more of the following:

  • Excess or sagging skin of the upper eyelids
  • Hooded eyelids that create a tired or aged appearance
  • Difficulty applying makeup due to excess eyelid skin
  • Upper eyelid skin that rests on or hangs over the eyelashes
  • Reduced peripheral vision caused by excess upper eyelid tissue
  • Good general physical and mental health
  • Realistic expectations regarding surgical outcomes

Who Cannot Have Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty may not be appropriate, or may require additional evaluation, if you have:

  • Uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension
  • Significant dry eye syndrome
  • Untreated thyroid eye disease
  • Active eye infections or inflammation
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Unrealistic expectations regarding the results of surgery
  • Certain medical conditions that increase surgical risk

A consultation with your surgeon and, when necessary, an ophthalmologist will help determine whether the procedure is appropriate for you.

Upper Blepharoplasty surgery takes approximately 45–90 minutes when performed on both upper eyelids.

Upper blepharoplasty can provide long-lasting improvement in upper eyelid appearance and function. While the procedure cannot stop the natural aging process, results often remain visible for many years. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and protecting the skin from excessive sun exposure may help prolong the benefits of surgery.

Please discuss any questions or concerns with your surgeon before deciding to proceed with treatment.

Incision lines continue to mature over several months and final results become more apparent as swelling resolves. Scars are usually well concealed within the natural eyelid crease and therefore not very visible.
