Who Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Is For
Upper eyelid surgery may be appropriate if you experience:
- Excess skin resting on the eyelashes
- Heaviness of the upper eyelids, particularly later in the day
- Visual restriction related to eyelid hooding
- A persistently tired or aged appearance due to skin excess
Not everyone benefits from surgery.
In some cases, brow position, eyelid muscle function or skin quality may limit the potential benefit.
- Surgery is recommended only when it is likely to provide a meaningful functional or aesthetic improvement.
When Surgery May Not Be Appropriate
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty may not provide meaningful benefit where:
- Brow descent is the primary cause of hooding
- Skin excess is minimal
- Eyelid muscle weakness is present
- Expectations exceed anatomical improvement
A specialist assessment determines this carefully.
