Revive & Refresh Your Eyes

What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty is a precise surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and sometimes weakened muscle from the upper eyelids. Often referred to as an eyelid lift, this technique is designed to restore a smoother, more open eye contour without altering your natural expression.

Over time, the upper lids can begin to sag due to thinning skin, loss of elasticity, and redistribution of fat. This can create a hooded or heavy-lidded look that makes the eyes appear tired, angry, or older than you feel. In more advanced cases, it can also interfere with vision, particularly in low light or when reading.

By addressing the structural changes that cause these issues, upper blepharoplasty can restore a brighter, lighter appearance to the eyes. The procedure doesn’t chase trends or overcorrect; when done well, it simply brings your eyes back into focus where they belong.

Dr. Dadgostar’s approach is tailored, subtle, and rooted in balance. Every incision is placed carefully in the natural crease of the eyelid, so once healed, the result is not only functional, but nearly invisible to the outside world.

The Ultimate Lift

What is the upper blepharoplasty procedure like?

Upper blepharoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with sedation. Dr. Dadgostar will make small incisions in the upper eyelid crease, carefully removing excess skin and fat to smooth and lift the upper eyelids. She may also tighten the underlying muscles to provide a comprehensive lift. The incisions are then precisely closed using meticulous techniques to minimize any visible scarring.

With years of experience and a passion for facial plastic surgery, Dr. Dadgostar is committed to delivering exceptional results. We tailor each treatment plan to your individual needs and goals, utilizing the latest techniques and technology to provide a safe procedure and beautiful outcome. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. We'll guide you through every step of the process, providing personalized support and care.

Improve Your Vision and Appearance

What conditions does upper blepharoplasty address?

  • Excess eyelid skin: Restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
  • Impaired vision: Enhance your vision by addressing drooping eyelids.

Subtle Adjustments for a Stunning Result

What are the benefits of upper blepharoplasty?

By revitalizing the eye area, upper blepharoplasty provides a more youthful and refreshed appearance. It can also improve your field of view and reduce eye strain. Many blepharoplasty patients experience a boost in self-esteem, feeling more confident and satisfied with their appearance. With Dr. Dadgostar’s expertise, the results are natural-looking, providing a harmonious enhancement that complements your features.

Different Concerns, Different Solutions

Upper vs. Lower Blepharoplasty

Upper and lower blepharoplasty may seem like two sides of the same coin—but they solve very different issues.

  • Upper blepharoplasty targets drooping or hooded lids. It removes excess skin and sometimes fat from the upper eyelids to open the eyes and reduce heaviness.
  • Lower blepharoplasty focuses on puffiness, under-eye bags, and loose skin beneath the eyes. It may involve fat repositioning, skin tightening, or both.

Some patients benefit from both procedures, especially if volume changes or aging are visible in both areas. Dr. Dadgostar will help you determine which technique—or combination—is best suited to your features and priorities.

Break Free from Sagging Eyelids

Who is a candidate for upper blepharoplasty?

You may be a candidate for upper blepharoplasty if you have sagging eyelids that make you look tired or older than you are. Upper blepharoplasty can also improve your field of vision by reducing sagging skin that obstructs your view. Dr. Dadgostar will assess your candidacy during your consultation to ensure that upper blepharoplasty is a good fit for you.

When a Single Procedure Isn’t the Full Story

Pairing Procedures for Enhanced Results

While upper blepharoplasty can create a significant lift on its own, many patients choose to combine it with other procedures for a more comprehensive outcome. Common pairings include:

  • Lower Blepharoplasty – to address under-eye puffiness or crepey skin
  • Brow Lift – to elevate a heavy or drooping brow that contributes to upper eyelid hooding
  • Laser Skin Resurfacing – to refine skin texture and reduce fine lines around the eyes
  • Botox® or Dermal Fillers – to soften crow’s feet or restore volume to the temples and cheeks

During your consultation, Dr. Dadgostar will evaluate whether additional treatments could better support your goals. Combination procedures can streamline your recovery timeline while creating a more balanced, refreshed overall result.

Attentive Support at Every Step

Upper Blepharoplasty Recovery

During early recovery from upper blepharoplasty, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, and temporary blurry vision. Applying cold compresses and keeping the head elevated can help reduce swelling. Most patients can return to light activities within a week. Final results emerge in the following months as the tissues settle into place. It's important to follow Dr. Dadgostar’s post-operative care instructions, including avoiding strenuous activities and protecting the eyes from direct sunlight. She will check your healing at post-operative appointments and remain available to answer any questions throughout your recovery process.
