Upper Blepharoplasty
What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty is one of the most effective and popular procedures for rejuvenating the eye area. By carefully removing excess skin and reshaping the upper eyelids, this treatment restores a brighter, more rested appearance while maintaining your natural eye shape.
Upper blepharoplasty—also known as upper eyelid surgery—is a procedure that removes excess skin and, where necessary, small pockets of fat from the upper eyelids.
​
The aim is to:
-
Open up the eye area
-
Improve eyelid definition
-
Restore a youthful, refreshed look
-
Maintain facial balance and natural expression
This procedure is suitable for both cosmetic enhancement and functional correction where heavy eyelids interfere with vision.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Upper Blepharoplasty?
You may be suitable for upper blepharoplasty if you experience:
​
-
Sagging or drooping upper eyelid skin
-
Hooding that makes the eyes look tired or aged
-
Obstruction of your upper field of vision
-
Asymmetry between the upper eyelids
-
Difficulty applying makeup due to excess skin
Candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about their results. A detailed consultation will confirm suitability.
