About Upper Eyelid Surgery

Drooping, sagging eyelids can affect your confidence or even make it harder to see. The upper eyelids are one of the most prominent features of the face, and as we age, they can begin to droop or sag, giving the eyes a tired or hooded appearance. For many people, this change can make them look older or more fatigued than they actually feel.

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a simple yet highly effective procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look. Interested in learning more?

Rejuvenating Your Upper Eyelids

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper eyelids. The goal is to eliminate drooping or sagging skin that can create a “heavy” or hooded look, improving both the function and appearance of the eyelids.

Patients choose upper eyelid blepharoplasty for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Improved vision: In some cases, sagging upper eyelids can obstruct vision, making everyday tasks like reading or driving more difficult. Blepharoplasty can remove the excess skin and restore a clear field of vision.
  • A more youthful appearance: Upper eyelid blepharoplasty can take years off your appearance by reducing sagging, smoothing out wrinkles, and brightening the eyes.
  • A refreshed look: By eliminating the tired or heavy look caused by drooping skin, this procedure can help you look more awake and refreshed.

This procedure is especially popular for people who are starting to notice the early signs of aging but are not yet ready for a full facelift or other more invasive procedures.

What to Expect from Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a relatively straightforward procedure that can often be performed under local anesthesia with sedation. In some cases, general anesthesia may be used.

The surgery typically takes about 1 hour and is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to go home the same day.

During the procedure:

  • Dr. Goggin will make small incisions in the natural crease of the upper eyelid to ensure that scarring is minimal and discreet. These incisions are carefully placed to be as inconspicuous as possible once healed.
  • Through these incisions, excess skin, muscle, and fat are removed or repositioned to create a smoother, firmer contour to the upper eyelid.
  • Every patient’s anatomy and goals are different, and Dr. Goggin tailors each upper eyelid blepharoplasty to ensure the most natural, flattering results.

Unveiling the New You

Recovery from upper eyelid blepharoplasty is typically quick and easy, with most patients returning to normal activities within a week to 10 days. Some mild swelling and bruising are to be expected during the first few days, but these side effects will gradually subside.

  • You’ll begin to see the results of your upper eyelid surgery as swelling diminishes, with full results appearing within a few weeks. The results of upper eyelid blepharoplasty can last for many years, and for most patients, the procedure offers a long-term solution to sagging or drooping eyelids.
  • Because the incisions are made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid, scarring is minimal and usually fades to become nearly invisible over time.
  • Patients often report that they feel more confident and refreshed after surgery, with brighter, more youthful-looking eyes.
