Blepharoplasty (upper eyelid lift)
Upper Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) at Laser Skin Care Center
At Laser Skin Care Center, we offer upper eyelid lift surgery (blepharoplasty) to help patients restore a brighter, more youthful appearance around the eyes. As we age, the skin of the upper eyelids can droop or sag, making the eyes look tired or affecting peripheral vision. Our expert physicians perform this procedure with precision and care, helping patients achieve a refreshed, natural-looking result.
What Is Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Used For?
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a minor surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and, in some cases, fat from the upper eyelids. It is often performed for cosmetic reasons—to reduce sagging or hooded lids—but can also improve vision when drooping skin interferes with the upper field of view.
Common concerns treated with upper eyelid blepharoplasty include:
- Drooping or hooded upper eyelids
- Tired, aged appearance around the eyes
- Makeup smudging due to overhanging skin
- Impaired peripheral vision
- Asymmetry or heaviness in the upper lids
How Does the Procedure Work?
Blepharoplasty is typically performed in-office using local anesthesia, sometimes with mild sedation. The procedure usually takes about 45 to 60 minutes. During surgery, a small incision is made along the natural crease of the upper eyelid to remove excess skin and fat, allowing for a more open and lifted appearance.
Recovery is generally mild. Swelling and bruising may occur for several days, but discomfort is minimal and easily managed. Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days, and sutures are removed after about one week.
How Long Do Results Last?
The results of an upper eyelid lift are long-lasting, often for many years. Patients typically notice a more alert and youthful look, with smoother eyelid contours and improved eye symmetry. Because the incisions are made within the natural eyelid fold, scarring is minimal and discreet.
