The Subtle Surgery That Opens Your Eyes

What is an Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove sagging upper eyelid skin and excess fat from the upper eyelid area.

It opens the eye area, reduces hooding, and restores a refreshed, more alert look. Surgical options include addressing both upper and lower lids or focusing solely on the upper lids, depending on your goals. This procedure not only improves aesthetics but can restore peripheral vision obstructed by drooping lids.

Just Enough Lift to Open Everything Up

What is the Upper Blepharoplasty procedure like?

Your surgery takes place in our accredited surgical center under local or twilight anesthesia.

Dr. Narasimhan makes incisions along the natural crease of the upper eyelid, then carefully removes or repositions excess skin and fat. Incision lines are sutured with fine stitches designed to fade into the crease. The procedure takes 45–90 minutes, and you’ll go home the same day with care instructions and cold compress recommendations.
