Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty primarily focuses on the upper eyelids. The procedure involves:

• Excision of drooping eyelid skin: The removal of excess skin from the upper eyelids can help to reduce the drooping and give the eyes a more open and refreshed appearance.
• Repair of the muscle that opens the eyes: Over time, the muscle that opens the eyes can weaken, contributing to drooping eyelids. Repairing this muscle can help to restore the functionality and appearance of the eyes.
• Removal of excess eyelid fat: Accumulated fat in the upper eyelids can give a puffy, tired appearance to the eyes. By removing this excess fat, the eyes can regain a more youthful and alert look.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty targets the lower eyelids. This procedure involves:

• Correction of undereye bags through repositioning: Undereye bags can make one appear tired or aged. By repositioning the fat in this area, the undereye bags can be reduced, giving a smoother and more youthful appearance to the area beneath the eyes.
• Possible removal of redundant fat and skin: If there is an excess of fat and skin in the lower eyelids, they can be removed to improve the overall look of the eyes.
• Treatment of sagging lower lids that may reveal excess white space beneath your iris: Over time, the lower lids can sag, revealing an excess of white space beneath the iris. By treating this sagging, the eyes can regain a more youthful and alert appearance.

In conclusion, whether it’s upper or lower blepharoplasty, the aim is to restore a more youthful and vibrant look to the eyes, improving both appearance and vision.
