Upper blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid, correcting the appearance of a drooping eyelid. The procedure restores the natural opening of the eyes and improves the visual field in severe cases. Recovery is quick, and the scars are hidden in the natural crease of the eyelid.

The ideal candidate

Upper blepharoplasty is recommended for people who present excess skin at the level of the upper eyelids, which can affect both the aesthetic appearance and the visual field. It is suitable for those who want a natural improvement of the contour of the eyes, without major invasive interventions.

  • Presence of excess skin or mild ptosis of the upper eyelid
  • Age over 30 years, with sagging skin or fine wrinkles at the level of the eyelids
  • Good general state of health, without active ocular conditions
  • Realistic expectations regarding the result of the intervention
  • Non-smokers or willing to temporarily stop smoking for optimal healing

The technique

The intervention consists of removing the excess skin and, if necessary, minimal fat deposits from the level of the upper eyelid, through a discreet incision in the natural crease of the eyelid. This allows for a rejuvenated appearance and a more defined contour of the eyes, without visible scars. The procedure is individually adapted to preserve the natural expressiveness of the gaze.

Anesthesia and duration

Upper blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia, sometimes combined with light sedation, for the patient’s comfort. The duration of the intervention is generally between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case.

Recovery

The first few days

Moderate swelling and bruising may be observed around the eyes, which can be managed with cold compresses and recommended medication. Relative rest and avoidance of intense physical effort are indicated.

The first week

The swelling and bruising begin to reduce significantly. The sutures are usually removed after 5-7 days, and daily activities can be resumed gradually.

The first month

The appearance of the eyelids continues to improve, and the scars become less and less visible. Avoiding prolonged sun exposure and using sun protection are recommended.

The final results can be appreciated after approximately 3 months, when the tissues have stabilized completely.

Risks and safety

  • Temporary swelling and bruising
  • Ocular irritation or dryness
  • Temporary asymmetry or visible scars
  • Infection or bleeding, rare
  • Temporary changes in skin sensitivity

These risks are minimized through careful preoperative evaluation, precise surgical technique, and adherence to postoperative indications.
