Upper Eyelid Surgery

A surgical procedure designed to correct drooping eyelids, hooded eyes, and create a double eyelid crease for those with monolids, uneven eyelids, or hooded eyes. This procedure involves making an incision on the upper eyelid and creating a new crease.

Our ophthalmologists will work closely with you to determine the most suitable technique based on your individual needs and goals, whether it's a mini-incision or a full incision. The results can be natural-looking and long-lasting, providing you with a more refreshed and confident appearance.

Am I a candidate?

Upper blepharoplasty is generally suitable for everyone, especially if you have any of the following concerns:

Sagging eyelids that affect your vision.
Excess skin on your upper eyelids.
Drooping eyelids or outer corners of the eyes.
Deep-set eyes.
Indistinct or asymmetrical eyelid creases, or hooded eyes.
Small eyes or monolids.

What can I expect?

During upper blepharoplasty, the incision is carefully placed within the new eyelid crease, minimizing visibility. Some swelling and bruising are common in the first few days, but these side effects typically resolve with proper medication and care. Over time, the scar will fade and become less noticeable. While the final results may take 6-12 months to fully settle, the benefits of a more youthful and refreshed appearance can last for many years.
Although complications are rare, especially when the procedure is performed by a skilled ophthalmologist, potential risks include uneven eyelid creases, numbness, bleeding, infection, and the need for revision surgery.
