Upper Eyelid Surgery or Upper Blepharoplasty is an operation to treat excess skin and sagging of the upper eyelids, restore the natural upper eyelid crease, and rejuvenate the eyes.

The world-leading cosmetic surgeons at Bella Vou offer expert Upper Eyelid Surgery. Upper Blepharoplasty can lift, smooth, and refresh the skin above the eyes for a more alert, open, and youthful appearance.

Age, genetics, and sun damage can make the upper lids droop. Heavy, hooded lids can make you look tired when you're not, and the excess hanging skin can make it challenging to apply eye make-up.

Excess skin on the upper eyelid can be more than a cosmetic problem. If the loose folds hang over the eyelashes, they could block your vision. If your eyes are affecting your self-esteem or your visual function, the cosmetic surgeons at Bella Vou can help. Upper Blepharoplasty can remove overhanging skin, revitalize your appearance, restore your vision, and give your confidence a boost.

At Bella Vou, Upper Eyelid Surgery is usually carried out under local anaesthetic. However, sedation or general anaesthetic is also available for people who would prefer not to be awake for the procedure.

The surgeon will make an incision along one of the natural lines and creases in the upper eyelid. This helps ensure the scar is discreet and unobtrusive. Your specialist will remove any excess fat, they pull loose muscle and skin tight and suture the layers into place before trimming away excess skin.

Any surgery can cause swelling and bruising. The skin on the eyelids is thin and delicate, which increases bruising. If you don’t want people to know that you have had surgery, it’s a good idea to arrange a week away. The stitches, bruising, and swelling will all be apparent before this time.

The surgeons carefully place the scars in the natural crease of the upper lid. They are fine, fade quickly, and are hidden when you open your eyes. In the meantime, concealer can be worn to hide the wound and any bruising. Your surgeon and the specialist team at Bella Vou will offer support and guidance about how to safely camouflage the area.
