Your Eyes—Awakened and Fresh

Upper eyelid surgery, or upper blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure to correct sagging skin and fat deposits on the upper eyelids. The skin can lose elasticity as we age, leading to drooping eyelids that may create a tired or older appearance. This procedure not only enhances aesthetics but can also improve peripheral vision obstructed by excess skin.

After upper eyelid surgery, most patients can expect a gradual recovery over several weeks. In the first few days, it’s common to experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the eyes. These symptoms typically improve within a week, with most people feeling comfortable enough to return to light activities after about one week.
