Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure designed to address excess skin, fat, and muscle around the upper eyelids. As we age, the skin and muscles in the upper eyelids can begin to sag, which may cause vision obstruction or create a tired, aged appearance. Upper blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess skin and fat, helping to restore a more youthful, open-eyed appearance. The procedure also improves the contour of the eyelids, making the eyes appear larger, brighter, and more refreshed. Whether for functional or aesthetic reasons, upper blepharoplasty is an effective way to enhance the appearance of the upper eyelids and improve overall facial harmony.
