UNDERSTANDING UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that refreshes the
appearance of upper eyelids by removing excess skin and fat that
develop with aging. The surgery eliminates baggy skin, wrinkles, and
bulges, ultimately giving the eyes a bright and youthful appearance.
As one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries, upper
blepharoplasty offers patients a high satisfaction rate.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The upper blepharoplasty procedure can be performed in a surgery
center under IV sedation or in the office with local anesthesia. Dr.
Lee utilizes precise artistic markings to ensure optimal skin removal,
creating a scar that discreetly hides within the natural eyelid
crease.

KEY SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

 	* Precise skin removal within natural eyelid contours
	* Strategic fat removal or repositioning
	* Customized approach for natural-looking results
	* Same-day procedure with immediate eye functionality

CUSTOMIZED APPROACH FOR DIFFERENT PATIENT NEEDS

Successful upper blepharoplasty requires careful measurement and
customization. Dr. Lee takes meticulous measurements to remove the
optimal amount of skin, fat, and muscle during surgery. The procedure
can be combined with other treatments like ptosis repair or brow lift
to achieve comprehensive aesthetic improvements.

ASIAN EYELID SPECIALIZATION

Asian eyelids have unique anatomical characteristics that require
specialized surgical techniques. Dr. Lee, being of Asian descent and
specializing in Asian eyelid surgery, understands the nuanced
approaches needed. Some patients desire crease creation, while others
prefer maintaining their natural eyelid appearance.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery typically involves minimal discomfort with recommended ice
application and Tylenol for the first few days. Most patients can
resume light activities immediately, with full results visible around
three months post-surgery. Bruising and swelling are normal and
gradually subside over weeks.

INSURANCE CONSIDERATIONS

Insurance may cover upper blepharoplasty in severe cases where excess
skin significantly impairs peripheral vision. Documentation including
visual field testing and clinical notes are required for potential
coverage determination.
