Upper Blepharoplasty At A Glance
Everything you need to know before your consultation
What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?
An upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to refresh the appearance of the eyes. Over time, the skin above the eyes may become heavy or loose, which may cause hooding. Sagging eyelid skin often creates a tired look, even when a person feels energetic.
The surgery involves removing excess skin from the upper eyelid area. This creates a clean, open look and a more defined eyelid crease — restoring a youthful appearance while keeping results natural.
Why Choose Upper Blepharoplasty?
Hover over each card to explore each concern in detail
Hooded Eyes
Excess skin folds over the eyelid crease, giving a heavy, hooded appearance that can make you look older or perpetually tired.
Loose Upper Skin
Loose, sagging skin on the upper eyelids can crease makeup and make the eye area appear undefined and aged.
Tired Look
Your eyes communicate fatigue even when you feel energised. Upper blepharoplasty restores an alert, rested expression.
Heaviness Over Lashes
A feeling of weight and strain over your lashes throughout the day can be relieved by removing the excess tissue carefully.
Vision Impairment
When drooping skin blocks part of your upper visual field, blepharoplasty can functionally restore clearer, fuller vision.
Brighter Appearance
Open, defined eyes create a more youthful, vibrant look — naturally. No more relying on heavy eye makeup to compensate.
