Additionally, upper eyelid surgery helps correct excess skin on the upper eyelid that makes your eyes appear covered.
What Does Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Improve?
- Extra skin on upper eyelids
- Saggy and heavy eyelids
- Puffy appearance of the upper eyelids due to extra tissue
- Tired appearance around the eyes
- Vision problems due to extra skin on the upper eyelids

Upper Eyelid Surgery: Step by Step
1. Consultation and Evaluation
Our surgeon inspects the upper eyelids, evaluates skin elasticity and excess tissue, and looks into any visual problems.
2. Preoperative Planning
The natural eyelid crease is examined to estimate where the incision should be made and how much tissue should be corrected.
3. Anesthesia
Upper eyelid surgery is usually carried out with local anesthesia and sedation. The choice of anesthesia depends on the surgical plan.
4. Incision and Tissue Correction
Incisions are made along the natural eyelid crease line, after which excess skin, muscle, and fat are removed or repositioned.
5. Closing the Incision
The incision is closed with very fine sutures, and the scar remains in the natural crease of the upper eyelid.
6. Recovery Process
You are monitored by our medical team after surgery and provided with post-operative recommendations.
What to Expect After Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Recovery from Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) usually involves some swelling and bruising during the first few days. These effects gradually settle as the eyelids heal.
Recovery Stage | What to Expect |
Days 1–3 | Swelling, bruising, and mild tightness are common. Cold compresses help reduce swelling. |
Days 4–7 | Bruising starts to fade, and sutures are generally removed during the follow-up visit. |
Weeks 2–3 | Most patients return to normal daily activities, with light makeup use once approved by the surgeon. |
Weeks 4–6 | Remaining swelling continues to settle, while the incision line becomes less noticeable. |
3+ Months | The eyelids continue to settle and the final appearance becomes clearer. |
Following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions and attending scheduled follow-up visits supports a smooth recovery.
Is Upper Eyelid Surgery Safe?
Upper eyelid surgery is a common procedure, but like any surgery, it carries some risks. These include swelling, bruising, dryness of the eyes, blurred vision, infection, bleeding, scarring, and delayed wound healing.
Therefore, we identify your specific risks through a thorough examination carried out by our doctor before performing the surgery.
