Upper Blepharoplasty
What is upper blepharoplasty?
As we age, our eyelids often droop and wrinkles develop around the eyes. Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves eyelid drooping and fine lines by pulling or removing loose skin and tissue that has sagged with age. It can also reveal or reshape eyelid lines that are obscured by sagging skin.
Depending on your individual aging symptoms, it's important to accurately diagnose why your eyelids are drooping and choose the right surgery for you.

Upper Blepharoplasty Procedure
Upper blepharoplasty is performed with local anesthesia at the surgical site, which is painful, so a short sedation is first administered.
A natural incision is made along the eyelid crease line, and the skin and inner fat of the drooping eyelid is removed or repositioned. Because the incisions and sutures are made in line with the eyelid crease, scars are virtually invisible after surgery.
Upper Blepharoplasty Surgery Information
Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that can improve the appearance of drooping eyelids that make you look older than your age, or that make you look tired all the time, to give you a more youthful appearance.
Immediately after surgery, you may experience swelling and bruising, which will mostly subside within one to two weeks, and the final results will be visible in about three to six months.
Upper Blepharoplasty is recommended for these people
What causes eyelids to droop? There are a number of factors, including aging, genetics, lifestyle, and muscle weakness.
Especially as we age, collagen and elastin decrease, reducing skin elasticity, and the upper eyelid levator muscle (the muscle that lifts the eyelids) weakens, causing sagging, so it's important to consult with a healthcare professional and get the right treatment at the right time.
