What is Upper Eyelid Surgery?

Upper Eyelid Surgery, also known as an Upper Blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper eyelids. Over time, factors such as aging, genetics, and sun exposure can lead to the development of excess skin, fat pockets, and droopiness of the lacrimal glands, resulting in a tired or aged appearance. 

Upper eyelid surgery aims to address these concerns by removing excess skin and fat, tightening muscles, re-suspending the lacrimal gland, and/or restoring a more youthful and refreshed look to the eyes. Dr. Eric Li can help you achieve smoother, more defined eyelid contours, enhance eyelid symmetry, and brighten your overall facial appearance by meticulously sculpting and reshaping the upper eyelids.

Once you’re comfortably settled in the operating room, Dr. Li will administer anesthesia to ensure you’re relaxed and pain-free throughout the surgery.

With his expert hands and meticulous attention to detail, Dr. Li will skillfully perform Upper Eyelid Surgery, carefully sculpting and contouring your eyelids to achieve natural-looking, harmonious results.

Upper Eyelid Surgery recovery

In the days immediately following the procedure, you may experience some mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the eye area. Dr. Li will provide detailed post-operative instructions, including guidelines for managing discomfort and caring for your eyelids during the initial healing period. As your eyelids gradually heal and any bruising and swelling subsides, you’ll begin to notice the transformative effects of your upper eyelid surgery, with eyes that appear refreshed, rejuvenated, and more youthful.

What is Ptosis (Blepharoptosis)?

Sometimes, the folding of excess skin and or the weight of this tissue may cause the upper eyelids to look less open, an issue known as pseudo-ptosis. However, the upper eyelid lifting muscles per se may not necessarily lift as well and may require tightening or repair to restore normal eye-opening. This issue of lack of eye-opening is called ptosis or blepharoptosis and can occur naturally with aging or due to other reasons. Blepharoptosis can be repaired as part of your Upper Eyelid Surgery but requires more meticulous and expert dissection, something Dr. Li is well versed in. In this repair, your eyelid muscles are carefully isolated, and either your Levator or Muller’s muscle is tightened and re-anchored to your upper eyelid to restore normal movement and lifting of the upper eyelid, restoring bright and open eyes.
