Weight and gravity can conspire to sag the delicate skin around your eyes. An Upper Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) can reverse that process by removing the excess skin and fat, leaving you with a more youthful and alert appearance. If you feel great, but your friends occasionally ask if you are tired or angry, you may be a perfect candidate for an upper eyelid lift.

Upper eyelid blepahroplasties are by far the single most popular cosmetic surgical procedures performed among both men and women, since small, thoughtful corrections in this area can alter an aged or haggard appearance to the whole face. Great care must be taken to treat each individual’s needs and avoid “same surgery” on every patient, or even on both eyelids on the same patient, in order to improve post-surgical symmetry and create a natural appearing, lasting improvement.

The upper eyelid blepharoplasty procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures like a lower lid lift, filler injections, a facelift, ptosis repair, or a forehead lift. Skin wrinkles of the lower lid or corner of the eye can be treated with Botox injections, skin care, or chemical peel.

As upper eyelid blepharoplasties are performed through an incision in the upper eyelid crease, the removal and sculpting of excess skin and fat is usually achievable without a detectable scar.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasties are the single most common procedure performed in our practice, and our experience runs into the tens of thousands, but we still treat each patient as an individual with unique needs.
