Upper eyelid blepharoplasty, also known as an “eyelid lift” or “eyelid surgery,” is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. This can help to improve the appearance of sagging or drooping eyelids and can also help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in the eye area.

The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia or light sedation and typically takes between 1-2 hours to complete. During the procedure, the surgeon will make a small incision in the natural crease of the eyelid, through which they will remove excess skin and fat. The incision is then closed using sutures, and the patient will be given post-operative instructions to follow to ensure proper healing.

Recovery time after upper eyelid blepharoplasty can vary depending on the individual, but most patients can return to normal activities within a week or two. There may be some swelling, bruising, and redness around the eyes during the healing process, but these side effects will typically subside within a few weeks.

Overall, upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids and can help to restore a more youthful and refreshed look to the eyes. If you are considering eyelid surgery, it is essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience performing this procedure.
