What is an Upper Blepharoplasty?

No More Droopiness

Our Beverly Hills Upper Blepharoplasty procedure is used to address sagging skin and wrinkles specifically in the upper eyelid area. This surgical procedure, also known as an upper eyelid blepharoplasty, works by delicately removing excess skin and sometimes readjusting underlying tissue or fat. This procedure can also address hooded eyes, uneven eyelids, or vision issues due to skin ptosis.

From Sleepy To Sparkling

Upper Blepharoplasty Consultation and Preparation

Our goal with every patient is to provide tailored treatment from your consultation through treatment all the way to your follow-up. During your consultation, Dr. Gould will perform an exam, learn about your aesthetic goals, and discuss the best treatment options for you and your needs. We will also provide detailed instructions on how to prepare for surgery.

Where Skill Meets Art

Your Upper Blepharoplasty Procedure

Dr. Gould will begin by making delicate and strategic incisions in the upper eyelid area, usually along the crease, to minimize scarring. Next, any excess skin, tissue, or fat contributing to sagging or puffiness is carefully removed. The incisions are then meticulously closed with fine sutures to achieve a tighter, smoother appearance. Upper lid blepharoplasty surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation and usually lasts about one to two hours.

Upper Blepharoplasty Results

Patients will see some immediate improvement, but optimal results typically require about two to three months of healing. Proper skin care and using protection from the sun can help to maintain results for many years.

Upper Blepharoplasty Recovery and Aftercare

Right after surgery, you will likely experience some swelling and tenderness, which should mostly resolve after a few days. Total downtime could be one to two weeks. It's important to follow guidelines for care after your surgery to prevent infection or other complications.
