Youthful And Alert

What is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Sometimes referred to as an eyelid lift, this treatment can address common concerns related to the appearance of the upper eyelid. As we age, our eyelids can sag or become uneven, creating an older, more tired appearance. Through precise incisions hidden in the crease of the eyelid, your surgeon can remove or adjust skin and tissue to create a smoother, more youthful-looking result. Along with aesthetics, this treatment can address sagging eyelids that may interfere with vision to improve quality of life.

Upper Blepharoplasty Candidates

Candidates for upper blepharoplasty are typically in good overall health, are non-smokers or willing to quit, and are experiencing loose skin and wrinkles in the upper eyelid area that they would like to address for either aesthetic or functional reasons. Patients with hooded eyes who would like more surface area to be visible in the upper eyelid when the eyes are open are also good candidates.

Tailored For You

Consultation and Preparation

At your consultation, Dr. Liang will assess your eyelids and overall facial features to determine if this treatment is ideal for you. He will ask you about your aesthetic goals and your medical history and see if you have any questions or concerns about receiving treatment. Then, he will create a personalized treatment plan with details about the surgery and all preparation requirements, which might include adjusting some medications or avoiding certain topical treatments.

In Skilled, Trusted Hands

Your Upper Blepharoplasty Procedure

At our office in Pittsburgh upper blepharoplasties are outpatient procedures that usually take one to two hours and is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation. During the surgery, a discreet incision is made along the natural crease of the upper eyelid, ensuring minimal visibility of any scarring. Excess skin, muscle, and fat are carefully removed or repositioned to create a more youthful and rested appearance. The incisions are then meticulously closed with fine sutures to promote smooth healing and natural-looking results.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

After an upper blepharoplasty Pittsburgh patients can expect a recovery period of about 7 to 10 days. Once swelling and bruising subside, which typically occurs within two weeks, patients can see the initial results of upper blepharoplasty. Your final results become fully apparent after several months. Sun protection is vital to prevent discoloration of the healing skin, so wearing sunglasses and applying sunscreen is recommended. Depending on the patients and their skincare practices, results can last many years and may even be life-long.
