What is upper blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and/or fat from the upper eyelids to create a more open, refreshed, and youthful appearance. It can also improve vision when drooping skin narrows the visual field.
How is it performed?
Often done under local anesthesia. The incision follows the natural eyelid crease, making the scar virtually invisible. Surgery takes 30-60 minutes.
