Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to change the shape or size of the upper part of the eyelid. This procedure may be performed for aesthetic purposes, such as improving the balance of the eyelid or improving the appearance of the eyelid. The procedure may also be performed for functional purposes, such as correcting breathing problems or repairing damage to the eyelid caused by injury or trauma.

The upper blepharoplasty procedure is usually performed under anesthesia and takes several hours. The surgeon changes the shape or size of the eyelid by cutting or adding bone and cartilage in the upper part of the eyelid. Additionally, the surgeon improves the appearance of the eyelid by realigning the skin around it.

The upper blepharoplasty procedure is performed by a surgeon and is usually performed in a surgical clinic or hospital setting. The procedure is usually performed under anesthesia and is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning the patient can go home the same day. After surgery, the patient usually requires bed rest for a few days and then begins to return to normal. After the upper blepharoplasty procedure, the patient’s swelling and bruising usually subside within a few weeks.
