Amelia Tampa Bay Specializes in Upper Eyelid Surgery.

Upper blepharoplasty in Tampa Bay, Florida, commonly referred to as upper eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at rejuvenating 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 with drooping eyelids that may obstruct their vision or create an uninviting expression. 

At Amelia Tampa Bay, Dr. Shabaaz Sandhu specializes in upper blepharoplasty techniques that deliver natural and revitalizing results.

During the upper blepharoplasty procedure, a small incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid, allowing the surgeon to carefully remove excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle. 

This meticulous approach not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the eyes but also improves peripheral vision by lifting droopy eyelids.

Recovery from upper blepharoplasty generally involves some swelling and bruising, which can be managed with cold compresses and prescribed medication. Many 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. 

If you’re considering upper blepharoplasty in Tampa Bay, FL, our dedicated Patient Care Coordinators are here to guide you through every step of your journey, from the initial consultation to post-operative care.
