What is A BLEPHAROPLASTY HEAVY/UPPER EYELID SURGER?
With normal aging, an excess of upper eyelid skin will often develop. This gives the eyes a “heavy” or “tired” appearance. Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a simple procedure that can give the appearance of being “better rested” or “more awake.”
Am I a candidate for Am I a candidate for a Upper Blepharoplasty?
Ideal candidates for an upper blepharoplasty, or upper eyelid surgery, are individuals who experience concerns. Candidates with sagging or drooping upper eyelid skin that may impair vision or create a tired or aged appearance. Individuals with hooded eyelids, where excess skin folds over the natural eyelid crease, obscuring the eyelid and reducing the appearance of the eyes. Those with puffiness or fat deposits in the upper eyelids, causing the eyes to appear tired or swollen. Candidates seeking a rejuvenated and refreshed look around the eyes, enhancing overall facial harmony and aesthetics.
Candidates for upper blepharoplasty should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.

FAQ
Is a blepharoplasty painful?
Patients rarely report pain after upper lid blepharoplasty. Swelling, “tightness” and heavy upper lids are expected for the first week after the procedure and resolve with time.
Are there scars after blepharoplasty?
Dr. Novis meticulously plans and closes incisions to optimize healing and scar appearance. The incision line in an upper blepharoplasty is created over where the natural eyelid crease should be, and the scar will fade into this natural line. The incision is closed with hair fine sutures, which are removed at 1 week after surgery. The incision lines will remain pink for an additional 1+ weeks depending on your skin type and healing. Eye makeup can be worn at 2 weeks.
Does blepharoplasty last forever/ Is blepharoplasty permanent?
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is the permanent removal of the excess eyelid skin and gives results that last many years, often 10 or more years. With normal continued aging, recurrent skin excess can develop over time, and repeat blepharoplasty can be performed if needed.
