Upper blepharoplasty is a specialized eyelid surgery designed to correct droopy upper eyelids and excess skin that naturally develop due to age or genetics. The procedure focuses exclusively on the upper portion of the eyelid, where skin and soft tissue can accumulate and alter the natural eye contour. Often performed for both cosmetic and functional reasons, upper blepharoplasty is a precise surgical technique that reshapes the eyelid region, creating a more defined upper eyelid crease and restoring balance to the eye area.
During an initial visit, Dr. Bafitis carefully evaluates sagging upper eyelids, the condition of the soft tissues around the eyes, and how these features relate to the patient’s overall facial anatomy. This thorough assessment helps determine the most suitable surgical approach and ensures that the treatment plan is tailored to each individual’s specific needs. Patients are also guided through preoperative steps, which may include reviewing medical history, discussing medications, and receiving instructions to optimize safety and results on the day of surgery.
Once the adjustments are complete, the incision is closed with fine sutures designed for the delicate skin of the eyelid. This careful closure technique supports optimal healing and helps minimize the visibility of scars. The result is a natural-looking improvement that maintains the eyelid’s normal function while enhancing its definition.
Lower eyelid surgery is often performed in combination with upper blepharoplasty to achieve a more balanced and harmonious rejuvenation of the eye area. This procedure focuses on reducing puffiness, under-eye bags, and excess skin beneath the eyes, helping to smooth the lower eyelid contour and complement the results of upper eyelid enhancement.
A brow lift can be paired with eyelid surgery to address sagging brows that weigh down the upper face and contribute to a heavy or tired expression. By gently elevating the position of the brows, this procedure opens up the eye area and enhances the overall balance between the forehead and eyelids.
For patients seeking more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, a facelift may be considered alongside eyelid surgery. This surgical procedure targets the midface, jawline, and neck, helping to refine facial features and reduce deeper signs of aging. When combined with upper blepharoplasty, it can create a cohesive and natural-looking transformation.
Non-surgical treatments like Botox injections are frequently recommended to complement the results of eyelid surgery. By temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles that cause wrinkles, Botox softens lines around the eyes, such as crow’s feet, and helps create a smoother, more refreshed appearance that enhances surgical results.
Over the next few months, the results of upper blepharoplasty become more defined as residual swelling fades. During this extended recovery period, patients notice a gradual improvement in eyelid contour and overall appearance. With proper care and follow-up appointments, the outcome continues to improve, leading to natural-looking results.
The cost of upper blepharoplasty in Jupiter, FL, typically ranges from $3,000 to $6,000, depending on the complexity of the case and whether it is performed on its own or combined with other cosmetic procedures.
