An upper blepharoplasty improves the hooding of the upper eyelid by removing skin and fat from the eyelid. Excess skin and fat in the upper eyelid can be caused by aging. However, genetics also plays a role, which is why people of all ages can be good candidates for an upper bleph. This procedure can also be combined with lower blepharoplasty to reduce puffiness and wrinkles under the eye.
Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess tissue from the upper eyelids to improve their appearance and, in some cases, vision.
Initial downtime is typically 7-10 days, during which swelling and bruising will gradually subside. Many patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks.
Noticeable improvements are visible shortly after surgery as swelling decreases, with results becoming more apparent over 12 months.
