Upper Blepharoplasty Surgery in Wilmington, NC

Upper blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as upper eyelid surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. 

As we age and in some cases early in life due to genetics, the skin around the eyes can become loose and saggy, leading to a tired or aged appearance. 

This procedure is ideal for those looking to rejuvenate their eyes and restore a more youthful look. Upper eyelid surgery can also be combined with lower blepharoplasty for those concerned by dark circles and eye bags. 

At Amelia Aesthetics in Wilmington, NC, plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Azzolini specializes in upper blepharoplasty to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

During upper eyelid surgery, incisions are strategically placed in the natural folds of the eyelids, allowing for discreet scarring. The surgeon removes excess skin and fatty tissue, which can also improve vision obstructed by drooping eyelids. 

Upper bleph surgery can be performed under local anesthesia in some cases or general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout the process. 

Recovery from upper blepharoplasty usually involves mild swelling and bruising, which can be managed with cold compresses and medication prescribed by your surgeon. 

Many patients return to normal activities within one to two weeks, with results becoming apparent as swelling subsides over the following months.
