Upper Blepharoplasty performed by Dr. John Aker
Patient Age: 59
Upper blepharoplasty, often referred to as an upper bleph procedure, is a cosmetic surgery designed to enhance the appearance of the upper eyelids. The procedure involves the removal of excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper eyelid area. This helps to eliminate drooping or sagging eyelids, which can occur due to aging, genetics, or other factors. The surgery aims to create a more youthful, refreshed look and can even improve the field of vision for individuals whose eyelids may be obstructing their sight.
During the procedure, a skilled surgeon makes small incisions along the natural creases of the upper eyelid. This minimizes visible scarring. The excess tissue is carefully removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to restore a smooth and natural contour to the eyelid. The procedure is relatively quick can be done in the office.
The recovery period for an upper blepharoplasty is relatively short, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Bruising and swelling may occur but typically subside within one to two weeks. Once healed, the results can be long-lasting, giving the patient a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
