Upper Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Upper blepharoplasty, or upper eyelid surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to address excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids. This condition can create a tired, aged appearance and may even interfere with vision in more severe cases.

As we age, the skin around our eyes naturally loses elasticity, causing the upper eyelids to stretch and the muscles supporting them to weaken. This can result in excess skin that folds over the eyelid, creating a hooded appearance, and sometimes fat deposits that appear as puffiness.

At Neoderma Clinica, our expert surgeons perform upper blepharoplasty with meticulous attention to detail, removing precise amounts of excess skin and fat to create a more refreshed, alert appearance while maintaining your natural eye shape and expression.

Frequently Asked Questions

Incisions for upper blepharoplasty are made in the natural crease of the eyelid, making them well-concealed once healed. The fine scars typically fade significantly over time and are rarely noticeable when the eyes are open. Our surgeons use meticulous techniques to ensure the most discreet scarring possible.

Upper blepharoplasty may be covered by insurance if the excess skin is significantly obstructing your vision. This typically requires documentation from an ophthalmologist and specific visual field testing. Purely cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance. Our staff can help you determine if you might qualify for insurance coverage and assist with the necessary documentation.

Results from upper blepharoplasty are long-lasting, typically 10-15 years or more. While the procedure removes existing excess skin and fat, it cannot stop the natural aging process. Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits can influence how long results last. Many patients never need a second procedure, while others may choose a touch-up after many years.

When performed by an experienced surgeon, upper blepharoplasty should not significantly change your natural eye shape. The goal is to remove excess skin and fat while preserving your unique features and expressions. Our surgeons take a conservative, customized approach to ensure natural-looking results that enhance rather than alter your appearance.
