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.
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.
When considering an Upper blepharoplasty Vancouver patients can address several common concerns:
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.
Upper and lower blepharoplasty may seem like two sides of the same coin—but they solve very different issues.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
You will see noticeable improvements in your eye area as post-procedure swelling fades. Your final results will appear within a few months as the area heals and the tissues settle into place. While the skin around the eyes will naturally change as you age, at our practice in Vancouver upper blepharoplasty results are long-lasting, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance for years to come.
