Most patients can return to normal daily activities within a few days. However complete tissue recovery takes some time. The final result gradually forms during the healing process.

Upper Blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty helps remove excess eyelid skin and makes the eyes appear more open, refreshed, and expressive.
Upper blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure aimed at correcting the upper eyelids. During the procedure, excess skin is removed and, if necessary, the fat tissues are adjusted. This helps eliminate the appearance of “heavy” eyelids, improve the contour of the eyelids, and restore a more rested look to the face.

About the service
Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct changes in the upper eyelid area. With age, the skin in this area loses elasticity, which can lead to sagging and the formation of folds.
These changes may create not only aesthetic discomfort but in some cases can also affect the field of vision when excess skin partially covers the eye.
Upper blepharoplasty helps eliminate these changes, create a clearer eyelid contour, and make the eyes appear more open.
Indications for upper blepharoplasty
The procedure may be recommended for patients with age-related or anatomical changes in the upper eyelids.
The most common indications:
• excess skin of the upper eyelids
• sagging tissues in the eyelid area
• fat protrusions in the upper eyelid
• wrinkles in the upper eyelid area
• the appearance of “heavy” or tired eyes
During the consultation, the plastic surgeon evaluates the condition of the skin, muscles, and fat tissues and determines the most appropriate correction method.
How the surgery is performed
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. The incision is placed in the natural fold of the upper eyelid, which allows the postoperative scar to remain barely noticeable.
During the operation, the surgeon removes excess skin and, if necessary, adjusts the fat tissues.
The procedure usually takes about one hour.
Individual approach to correction
Before undergoing upper blepharoplasty, the patient has a consultation with a plastic surgeon. The doctor evaluates the anatomical features of the eyelids, the condition of the skin, and the degree of age-related changes.
Based on this evaluation, an individualized correction plan is created. This approach helps achieve the most natural result.

These symptoms gradually decrease during the healing process. The final result can be evaluated after complete tissue recovery.
