Upper blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. This procedure is commonly performed to address droopy or sagging eyelids, which can make you appear tired or older than you actually are.

During the surgery, incisions are made along the natural creases of the upper eyelids, ensuring minimal scarring. The surgeon then removes the excess skin and fat before carefully suturing the incisions. The result is a more youthful and refreshed appearance, with improved eyelid contour.

Ptosis refers to drooping of the upper eyelid due to weakened or stretched muscles. It can obstruct vision and cause a tired or sleepy appearance. Ptosis surgery is specifically designed to correct this condition by tightening the levator muscles responsible for raising the eyelids.

While not exclusively focused on the upper eyelids, a brow lift is often combined with upper eyelid procedures to achieve optimal results. As we age, the eyebrows tend to descend, causing the upper eyelids to appear heavier and more hooded. A brow lift helps elevate the eyebrows to a more youthful position, which in turn lifts the upper eyelids.

There are different techniques for brow lift procedures, including traditional surgery, endoscopic techniques, and non-surgical options such as Botox injections. Your surgeon will determine the most suitable approach based on your specific needs and goals.
