What Is Upper Eyelid Surgery?

An upper blepharoplasty is a gentle surgery used to make the eye area look more awake. As we get older, the skin above our eyes can become loose or heavy, creating a folded hood. This sagging often makes people look sleepy or sad, even if they feel full of energy.

During the treatment, the doctor carefully takes away the extra skin from the top lid. This makes a smooth, open space and a clearer line above the eye. It is a very neat way to bring back a young look to your face while keeping everything looking real and natural.

Why Choose Upper Blepharoplasty?

You might think about having this eyelid surgery if you experience any of the following

Skin Hanging Over Eyes

You have skin that hangs over your eyes, creating a heavy, hooded look that can make you appear older or tired.

Loose, Wrinkly Top Lids

You have loose, wrinkly skin on your top lids that creases easily and makes the eye area appear aged.

Worn-Out Appearance

You feel like you always look worn out, even when you feel rested and alert throughout your day.

Skin Sitting on Eyelashes

You notice skin sitting heavily on your eyelashes throughout the day, creating discomfort and a weighed-down feeling.

Trouble with Eye Makeup

You find it hard to put on eye makeup because loose skin creases and smudges the product throughout the day.

Bigger, Brighter Eyes

You have skin that gets in the way of side vision, or want your eyes to look bigger and brighter naturally.

Who Is Suitable for an Upper Eyelid Lift?

Our specialist will look at your eyes to make sure this is the right choice for you

Heavy, Drooping Lids
People with heavy lids that droop down, giving the eyes a tired and aged appearance.
Eyes Look Sleepy
Those whose eyes look sleepy all the time, even when they feel fully rested and energetic.
Skin Over Lash Line
People with skin hanging over their lash line, impeding vision or creasing their eye makeup.
Lost Eyelid Fold
Anyone who has lost the fold in their eyelid, making the eye area appear flat and undefined.
Deep Gaps Under Brow Bone
Those with deep gaps under their brow bone, contributing to a sunken, aged and tired look.
Desire for More "Open" Look
People who want a more "open" look, with brighter, more youthful-looking eyes and long-lasting results.

How Does Upper Eyelid Surgery Work?

A step-by-step breakdown of what to expect on the day

1
Consultation
Your surgeon examines your eyes and the surrounding skin, discusses your goals, and plans an upper blepharoplasty accordingly to match your individual needs.
2
Anaesthesia
You will get the medicine to stay sleepy and feel no pain throughout the entire procedure, keeping you fully comfortable and relaxed.
3
Incision
A small cut is made along the natural eyelid crease — ensuring any resulting scar is perfectly hidden within the eyelid fold.
4
Removal & Reshaping
Excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle are removed or repositioned to create a clean, refreshed eyelid contour and open appearance.
5
Closing Incisions
Stitches are placed carefully in the eyelid crease to hide scars, promoting swift and discreet healing with minimal visible marks.

What are the side effects of upper eyelid surgery?+

Mild swelling and bruising, minimal discomfort or tightness, temporary dryness or irritation, minor redness around the incision. Rare risks include infection, scarring, or asymmetry.

How to do upper blepharoplasty aftercare?+

Keep your head in a raised position while sleeping or resting. Use cold compresses to help with swelling. Avoid heavy exercise for 1–2 weeks. Follow the surgeon's instructions for cleaning and using ointments. Do not rub or strain your eyes. Attend follow-up appointments to monitor your healing.

Is upper blepharoplasty painful?+

How long is the recovery time?+

Are the results permanent?+
