Upper Blepharoplasty Newport Beach, CA | Dr. Kamal Batniji

Understanding Upper Blepharoplasty

Over time and due to hereditary predisposition, upper eyelid skin may begin to sag, resulting in hooding and a tired appearance. Upper blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve sagging upper eyelid skin and restore a more youthful, refreshed look.

Ideal Candidates for Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper blepharoplasty is appropriate for healthy men and women with realistic expectations for improving sagging upper eyelids. In extreme cases, the procedure can even improve visual fields when excess skin interferes with eyesight.

Conditions Addressed by Upper Blepharoplasty

• Upper lid ptosis (medical term for sagging)
• Hooded eye appearance
• Vision obstruction caused by excess skin
• Aged or fatigued eye appearance
