What Can Upper Blepharoplasty Do?

Upper blepharoplasty is one of the most popular procedures at W Cosmetic Surgery™. This custom procedure delivers powerful yet subtle results. This eyelid surgery can:

Remove sagging, excess skin folds on the upper lids
Remove puffiness
Reposition drooping lids and lashes
Restore symmetry to the eyelid crease

In more severe cases, this eyelid surgery can even improve your vision by addressing the weight of the sagging skin. The result? Brighter, more open eyes that make you look rested, refreshed, and years younger.

Am I a Good Candidate for Upper Blepharoplasty?

If you struggle with any of the following, you may be an ideal candidate for upper blepharoplasty:

Sagging, drooping skin on your upper eyelids
A heavy or hooded look caused by excess skin
A desire to look more alert, vigorous, and youthful

Dr. Wulc offers personalized consultations to determine if this procedure is right for you.

How is Upper Blepharoplasty Performed?

Dr. Wulc’s approach to upper blepharoplasty is as precise as it is innovative. The procedure begins with marking the ideal crease for your eyelids based on your unique facial structure. Using advanced energy devices like lasers or radiofrequency technology, Dr. Wulc makes precise incisions without needing a scalpel, minimizing bruising and leading to a quicker recovery.

The surgical procedure steps are as follows:

Local anesthesia is administered for your comfort.
Incisions are placed, without a scalpel, with a light-based energy device or RF device for greater precision.
Fat and excess skin are removed, drooping glands repositioned, and lack of symmetry addressed.
If necessary, the eyelid muscles are tightened.
The incisions are closed with sutures, and you’ll leave the office with either ice packs or a pressure-based device to minimize bruising.

The result is an expertly performed surgery with minimal scarring designed to restore a more youthful appearance without the telltale signs of surgery.

Upper Blepharoplasty FAQ

How long do the results of upper blepharoplasty last?

The results of upper blepharoplasty can last anywhere from five to seven years, and for many patients, the results last a lifetime.

Will upper blepharoplasty change my eye shape or size?

No, upper blepharoplasty shouldn’t drastically change the shape or size of your eyes. The goal is to remove excess skin and fat while preserving your natural eye shape and proportions.

What are the risks associated with upper blepharoplasty?

While upper blepharoplasty is generally safe, risks can include under- or over-correction, abnormalities in lid crease contour, or bleeding behind the eye. In rare cases, more serious complications can occur. Corrective surgery is often performed on issues caused by less experienced surgeons, as the procedure requires great attention to detail.

Can upper blepharoplasty be combined with other treatments?

Yes! Upper blepharoplasty pairs well with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as lower blepharoplasty, a brow lift, or a full facelift. A personalized treatment plan can be created to achieve your desired results.
