Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid surgery or an eyelid lift, is a cosmetic and functional procedure designed to remove excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper eyelids. The surgery helps restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance while improving vision that may be obstructed by drooping eyelid skin. At Basile Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andrea Basile performs customized upper blepharoplasty procedures for patients seeking natural-looking facial rejuvenation. Upper eyelid surgery can improve hooded eyelids, excess eyelid skin, puffiness, and a tired appearance while maintaining youthful eyelid contours. During upper eyelid surgery, an incision is carefully hidden within the natural crease of the eyelid. Excess skin and fat are removed or repositioned to create a smoother, more defined upper eyelid appearance. Dr. Basile utilizes advanced techniques that preserve volume and avoid a hollow or overcorrected look.
