The eyes are one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Over time, the upper eyelids can begin to sag due to thinning skin, weakening muscles, and fat accumulation. This can create a tired, heavy appearance—even when you feel well-rested.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty, also known as cosmetic eyelid surgery, is a precise outpatient procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, creating a more youthful, alert, and natural appearance.
What Can Upper Eyelid Surgery Improve?
Droopy or hooded upper eyelids
- Excess skin that affects the natural crease of the upper lid
- A tired or “angry” appearance despite good rest
- Difficulty applying makeup due to overhanging skin
This procedure is often chosen by patients looking to enhance their natural features without changing their identity. Results are subtle but powerful—restoring lightness and energy to the eyes.
