Amelia San Antonio Specializes in Upper Eyelid Surgery.

Upper blepharoplasty in San Antonio, TX,, commonly referred to as upper eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. 

As we age, the skin around the eyes can become loose and saggy, leading to a tired or aged look. This procedure is especially beneficial for individuals who have drooping eyelids that may obstruct their vision or create an uninviting expression. 

At Amelia San Antonio, TX, plastic surgeon Dr. Marcos Lopez, specializes in upper blepharoplasty techniques that deliver natural and rejuvenating results.

During the upper blepharoplasty procedure, a small incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid, allowing the surgeon to remove excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle. 

This careful approach not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the eyes but can also improve peripheral vision by lifting droopy eyelids.

Recovery from upper blepharoplasty generally involves some swelling and bruising, which can be managed with cold compresses and prescribed medication. Many patients can return to their regular activities within a week, though full recovery may take longer as the eyelids heal.

The results of upper blepharoplasty can significantly rejuvenate your appearance, providing a more alert and youthful look that lasts for many years. 

If you’re considering upper blepharoplasty in San Antonio, TX, our dedicated Patient Care Coordinators are here to guide you through every step of your journey, from the initial consultation to post-operative care.
