Upper Blepharoplasty
Real Patient Experience
Hear our doctors, staff, and patients share what makes our care special.
What Is Upper Eyelid Rejuvenation(Upper Blepharoplasty)?
Upper blepharoplasty gently removes or re-positions excess skin, a thin strip of muscle, and tiny fat pads from the upper lids only, restoring a crisp crease and brighter, more open eyes.
Incisions hide inside your natural eyelid fold, so scars blend in and become nearly invisible. The procedure typically takes 45–60 minutes.
Ideal for: Adults whose drooping upper lids make them look fatigued, feel heavy, or narrow their peripheral vision.
