Upper Eyelid Lift Surgery in Houston, TX | Dr. Raghu Athre

What is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper eyelid complex. As we age, skin loses structural proteins, causing laxity, looseness, and thinning. The upper eyelids often show these changes most prominently, resulting in droopy, heavy eyelids that can make patients look perpetually tired or angry.

Understanding the Procedure

During upper blepharoplasty, Dr. Athré carefully removes excess skin and herniated fat, creating a softer, more open eyelid appearance. The natural crease is precisely marked to ensure minimal scarring and optimal aesthetic results.
