Upper blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. This excess skin can cause the eyelids to sag, leading to a tired, aged appearance. In some cases, it can also obstruct vision. With Dr. Steele’s expertise and skillset, an incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid, removing the unwanted tissue. The result is smoother, more youthful eyelids that enhance your overall facial aesthetics. This procedure can be done for both cosmetic reasons and functional improvement, providing long-lasting, natural results. For patients with drooping upper eyelids, this surgery offers a great way to enhance both appearance and vision.
Following an upper blepharoplasty, patients often notice a significant improvement not only in their appearance but also in their comfort and confidence. By addressing the excess skin and fat, the procedure can reduce the feeling of heaviness on the eyelids and improve peripheral vision that may have been compromised. Recovery typically involves minimal downtime, allowing most individuals to return to their daily activities quickly.
Upper blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation, allowing patients to remain comfortable throughout the procedure. After making the incision in the natural fold of the eyelid, Dr. Steele removes the excess skin and fat. The incision is then carefully closed, leaving minimal visible scarring. The surgery generally takes about one to two hours, and patients can return home the same day. Post-operative care is essential to ensure proper healing, and your surgeon will provide detailed instructions to help with recovery.
