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.
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.

Upper blepharoplasty treats:


This procedure targets the skin and soft tissue of the upper eyelids, smoothing lids, lifting brows, and opening the eye area for a refreshed overall appearance.
Removing excess eyelid skin can improve peripheral sight and make eyes appear fresher.
Upper eyelid surgery smooths hooded lids and restores the natural crease, creating a rested and vibrant look.
Results often last 7–10 years, with minimal maintenance and no need for repeat procedures.
You may be a candidate if you:
Days 1–3: Expect mild swelling and bruising; apply cold compresses for comfort.
Days 4–7: Sutures are removed, and many return to work or normal social activity.
Weeks 2–4: Most swelling subsides; sunscreen and gentle skin care are recommended.
Up to 3 Months: Scars soften and continue fading; your eyelids settle into their refreshed state.
You’ll be guided on using prescribed eye drops, avoiding strenuous activity, and protecting your eyes during the healing process.
