Upper Eye Lid Surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty)

Treatment

Upper Eye Lid Surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty)

Upper Eye Lid Surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty) is cosmetic surgery performed by Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Mr Philip Lim.

As the ageing process occurs, naturally the loss of elasticity in the skin falls, and the skin and muscles weaken and stretch. This gives the appearance of drooping, over hanging skin around the upper eye lid. For ladies it is very difficult to apply eye shadow, upper eye liner and even mascara. It can even obstruct vision in extreme cases.

The result of the procedure is a less tired, more open eye area and a more youthful appearance. This procedure is suitable for both men and women.

Treatment Summary

The procedure involves making a cut in the natural skin crease of the upper eye lid. Then, excess skin and fat will be removed and the wound closed using very fine stitches.

Swelling and bruising to the area will occur following the procedure. It is very important to rest and follow the after care given following surgery. Keep your head upright for a few days. Do not bend over and avoid exercise. Use extra pillows to sleep upright. This is to ensure that your blood pressure remains stable and reducing further swelling and bruising and chances of bleeding.
