Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper Blepharoplasty

Enhance Your Appearance with Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper blepharoplasty, also known as an upper eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and sometimes fat from the upper eyelids. This surgery brightens the eyes, helping patients look younger and more vibrant without appearing overdone. The results are natural, with scars hidden in the eyelid crease and virtually invisible when the eyes are open.

Is Upper Blepharoplasty Right for You?

Upper eyelid surgery can benefit individuals of all ages, as long as there is enough excess skin for the procedure. Some patients combine upper blepharoplasty with lower blepharoplasty for a comprehensive rejuvenation, known as four-lid blepharoplasty.

Additional Options

For drooping eyelids caused by other factors, procedures like ptosis repair or brow lifts may be recommended. Dr. Kapadia will evaluate your specific needs during a consultation.
