Upper blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle.
As we age, the skin around the eyes can sag and become loose, leading to a tired or aged look. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have drooping eyelids that may obstruct their vision or create an uninviting expression.
At Amelia South Florida in Boynton Beach, plastic surgeon Dr. Kamran Khan specializes in upper blepharoplasty techniques that yield natural and refreshing results.
During the upper blepharoplasty procedure, a small incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid, allowing the surgeon to meticulously remove excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle.
This technique not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the eyes but also improves peripheral vision by lifting droopy eyelids. The procedure typically lasts about one to two hours and can be performed under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on the patient's preferences.
Recovery from upper blepharoplasty usually involves some swelling and bruising, which can be effectively managed with cold compresses and prescribed medication. Many patients are able to return to their normal 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 vibrant and youthful look that lasts for many years.
