How Does Upper Eyelid Surgery Work?
This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids through a small cut hidden in the crease. The muscle may also be tightened if needed. It’s done under local or twilight anaesthesia by Dr. Tanov using a technique designed for minimal scarring and quick recovery. The result is a more open, refreshed appearance and improved vision if sagging skin was obstructing the eyes.

Upper Lid Blepharoplasty
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty, commonly known as an "eyelid lift," is a surgical procedure specifically aimed at correcting issues in the upper eyelid area. This procedure targets the region between the eyebrow and the lash line, addressing concerns such as loose or sagging skin, protruding fat, and weakened muscles that can cause a hooded look and limit peripheral vision. The surgery is typically performed under local or twilight anaesthesia, with precise incisions made along the eyelid's natural creases.

⚠️ Potential Complications of Blepharoplasty & Their Management
- Swelling and Bruising: Common after surgery; managed with cold compresses, head elevation, and anti-inflammatories.
- Dry or Irritated Eyes: Temporary dryness or itching; relieved with lubricating drops and ointments.
- Infection: Rare, but possible; treated with antibiotics and proper wound care.
- Asymmetry or Uneven Healing: Often improves as swelling subsides; persistent cases may need revision.
