What is Upper Blepharoplasty?
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a form of cosmetic eyelid surgery that focuses on the upper eyelids. This blepharoplasty procedure removes excess skin and fatty tissue, tightening and reshaping the area to enhance both function and appearance. By addressing drooping eyelids, the surgery can improve your field of vision while rejuvenating your overall look. For most cases, Eyebrow repositioning or forehead lift, as an additional procedure may enhance the overall appearance.

Types of Blepharoplasty
Procedures We Offer
Upper Eyelid Surgery
This procedure, also known as upper blepharoplasty or upper eyelid blepharoplasty, involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to eliminate droopy eyelids and improve vision.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
This surgical procedure addresses sagging skin and excess fat in the lower eyelids, reducing bags and puffiness for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Scarless Transconjunctival
Lower Blepharoplasty
This is an excellent option for patients who have primarily fat prolapse under the lower eyelid with limited excess skin or muscle. In this technique, Mr Supriya will use a cut made inside the lower eyelid i.e lower conjunctiva, to access and remove or translocate excess fat. This avoids any external scar and has lesser bruising and swelling externally. In some cases this can be combined with limited skin cuts to remove excess skin.
Combined Upper and
Lower Eyelid Surgery
For comprehensive rejuvenation, we offer combined upper and lower blepharoplasty to treat both upper and lower eyelids in a single procedure.

How Does Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Work?
The upper eyelid blepharoplasty procedure involves skin incisions made in the natural creases of the eyelids. This ensures scars are minimal and well-hidden. During the surgery, Mr Supriya carefully remove pre measured excess skin and fat, reshaping the area to achieve smoother, firmer upper eyelids.
The procedure typically takes between 20-30 minutes each eye and can be performed under local, sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on your preference and clinical needs.

Combining Upper Blepharoplasty with other procedures
For comprehensive results, upper blepharoplasty can be combined with lower eyelid surgery, also known as lower blepharoplasty. This dual approach addresses concerns with upper and lower eyelids, creating a balanced and rejuvenated look. Patients with sagging skin or puffiness in the lower eyelids may benefit from this combination. Most patients would also benefit from eyebrow repositioning /forehead lift.
Upper and or Lower Blepharoplasty is commonly done for most of our deep plane face and neck lift patients.
Risks of Upper Blepharoplasty Surgery
While eyelid reduction surgery is a safe and effective option, every surgical procedure carries some risks. Potential complications may include:
- Temporary swelling or irritation
- Dry eyes or sensitivity
- Scars at incision sites
- Rare instances of infection or asymmetry
Choosing an experienced specialist in facial plastic surgery can significantly minimise these risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between upper and lower eyelid surgery?
While both focus on rejuvenating the eyes, upper eyelid surgery targets sagging skin and drooping upper lids, which may impair vision. In contrast, lower eyelid surgery addresses puffiness, bags and excess skin under the eyes, creating a smoother, more refreshed look.
Is aesthetic eyelid surgery suitable for everyone?
Aesthetic eyelid surgery is ideal for individuals experiencing drooping eyelids, sagging skin, or puffiness around the eyes. A consultation with a specialist will determine if you are a good candidate based on your goals, skin condition and overall health.
How long does it take to recover from blepharoplasty surgery?
Recovery from blepharoplasty surgery typically takes 7 to 10 days for most swelling and bruising to subside. However, it may take a few months for the area to fully heal and for the final results to become visible.
Can I combine upper blepharoplasty with other procedures?
Yes, a blepharoplasty upper eyelid lift can often be combined with procedures like brow lifts or lower blepharoplasty for more comprehensive results, addressing multiple concerns in a single session. Most patients benefit from eyelid repositioning or forehead lift, done at the same time.
What are the benefits of eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery not only improves appearance by reducing sagging or drooping but can also enhance vision if excess skin obstructs your field of view. It delivers both functional and aesthetic improvements.
