Understanding Upper Blepharoplasty: Restoring Youthful Eyes

Upper blepharoplasty is a precise surgical procedure targeting the upper eyelids to restore a brighter, more lively appearance. By addressing age-related changes, this treatment can dramatically rejuvenate your facial aesthetic.

Conditions Addressed by Upper Eyelid Surgery

• Degeneration of skin elasticity around the eyes
• Sagging or excess eyelid skin
• Puffy or asymmetric eyelids
• Fat redistribution in the eye area
• Changes in pigmentation

Why Consider Upper Blepharoplasty?

Loose or sagging eyelid skin can contribute to a tired, aged appearance and potentially obstruct vision. This procedure not only enhances aesthetic appeal but can also improve visual function and self-confidence.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Cox may recommend combining upper blepharoplasty with complementary treatments to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation:

• Brow lift to address skin pressure on eyelids
• Lower blepharoplasty for under-eye correction
• Ptosis repair to tighten weakened upper lid muscles

Surgical Approach

Dr. Cox customizes each procedure using precise techniques. The surgery involves a hidden incision in the eyelid crease, preserving natural fat and using strategic approaches to minimize scarring and achieve natural-looking results.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect mild bruising and swelling during the initial two-week recovery period. Stitches are typically removed after 5-7 days, with gradual return to normal activities as healing progresses.

Potential Considerations

Candidates should discuss existing health conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disease, or dry eye syndrome. A comprehensive consultation will determine individual surgical suitability.
