At Faceline Plastic Surgery, upper blepharoplasty is designed to address loose or excess upper eyelid skin that can make the eyes appear heavy, tired, or aged. The procedure focuses on the individual’s eyelid anatomy to support a more defined and balanced eye appearance.
As skin elasticity changes with age, excess eyelid skin may partially cover the natural eyelid crease or eyelashes. Depending on the patient’s condition, upper blepharoplasty may involve removing excess skin and carefully adjusting fat or muscle tissue when clinically appropriate.
Who May Consider Upper Blepharoplasty?
The procedure may be considered for patients who have:
-
Loose or sagging upper eyelid skin
-
A faint or uneven double-eyelid crease
-
Excess skin covering part of the upper eyelid
-
A heavy or tired-looking eye appearance
-
Concerns about eyelid symmetry or crease definition
-
Excess tissue contributing to upper eyelid fullness
What Does the Procedure Address?
-
Excess skin: Removes carefully measured amounts of loose skin to reduce upper eyelid heaviness.
-
Fat and muscle tissue: Addresses excess tissue when appropriate for the patient’s anatomy.
-
Eyelid crease definition: Aims to establish a more defined crease based on the individual’s natural features.
-
Overall eye appearance: Considers eyelid symmetry, skin condition, and brow position when planning treatment.

-
