Upper Eyelids in Raleigh, NC

Upper blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the upper eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. As we age, the skin around the eyes can become loose and saggy, leading to a tired or aged appearance. 

This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience drooping eyelids that may obstruct their vision or create an uninviting look. An upper bleph can also be combined with lower blepharoplasty to reduce puffiness and wrinkles under the eye. At Amelia Raleigh, our experienced surgeons, Dr. Aspinder Singh and Dr. Trace Browne, specialize in upper blepharoplasty techniques that provide natural and rejuvenating results.

During the upper blepharoplasty procedure, a small incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid, allowing the surgeon to remove excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle. This meticulous approach not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the eyes but can also improve peripheral vision by lifting droopy eyelids. 

Recovery from upper blepharoplasty, or upper bleph surgery, usually involves some swelling and bruising, which can be managed with cold compresses and prescribed medication. Most patients can return to their daily activities within a week, although full recovery may take longer as the eyelids heal.

The results of upper blepharoplasty can significantly rejuvenate your appearance, providing a more alert and youthful look that lasts for many years.
