What Is an Upper Eye Lift?
An upper eye lift, also known as a blepharoplasty or upper eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that treats common issues like excess skin and bulging on the upper eyelid.
With the combined effects of long term sun exposure, changes in weight and hormones, and the inevitable forces of gravity, our skin on the entire face, and especially around the eyes, can start to lose its elasticity and tightness. Our eyes are one of the first areas of the face to start showing signs of aging and can make you seem tired or sad when you are anything but that! As the upper eyelid changes, it can also change the way you apply makeup and even how well you can see. An upper eye lift addresses these changes to help reverse signs of aging and rejuvenate the appearance.
Upper Eye Lift Procedure
An Upper Eye Lift involves making careful incisions along the natural folds of the skin to help hide any visible scarring. If determined to be necessary at the time of your consultation, special maneuvers are performed to reshape excess fat and even suspend the brow to a higher position.

How long does it take to recover from an upper eye lift?
The recovery for an upper eye lift surgery is generally seven to ten days, with most patients seeing almost a full recovery at around two weeks after their surgery. However, it is important to remember that it takes the body an entire year to fully heal from any surgical procedure. This means that incision line texture and color will continue to improve over the course of time.
