Function Meets Aesthetic

What is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift or upper eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic eyelid surgery that removes excess skin, fatty tissue, and in some cases a small amount of muscle from the upper eyelids. This procedure can significantly improve both appearance and function, particularly when sagging upper eyelid skin begins to impair vision or alter expression.

Aging, genetics, and gravity all contribute to loose skin and excess fat around the eyes. This natural aging process often creates a heavy or hooded look, which can make the face appear tired or stern. For many, the upper eyelids lose their natural contour as the upper eyelid crease becomes obscured. Through precise incisions placed within the natural crease, Dr. Mirzabeigi reestablishes a youthful, refreshed frame for the eye, while preserving your natural appearance.

In some cases, upper blepharoplasty patients also choose to undergo lower eyelid surgery, a brow lift, or laser skin resurfacing at the same time, maximizing results through combined procedures and a unified recovery period.

Open Your Eyes to Change

Upper Blepharoplasty Benefits

This commonly performed procedure offers both cosmetic and functional advantages. While some patients seek a more youthful appearance, others are simply tired of the daily strain from drooping eyelids or blocked vision.

Benefits of Upper Eyelid Surgery:

  • Restores a smoother, firmer upper eyelid contour
  • Reveals the natural crease of the eyelid
  • Reduces or eliminates excess skin and fatty tissue
  • Opens up the eyes for a more alert and youthful appearance
  • Improves vision when excessive skin is obstructing the field of view
  • Can help reduce eye strain, forehead tension, and the need to lift brows to see
  • Allows for easier application of makeup
  • Can be done with local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure
  • Minimal, hidden scarring that follows the lash line or upper eyelid crease
  • Can be combined with lower eyelid blepharoplasty, brow lift, or laser resurfacing

In short, upper blepharoplasty is about more than just looking better—it’s about feeling like yourself again.

A Closer Look

Upper Blepharoplasty Candidates

Upper blepharoplasty in Atlanta, GA, may be right for you if:

  • You have loose skin or sagging skin on your upper eyelids
  • You notice your eyelid crease is no longer visible due to excess skin
  • You struggle with blurred vision or reduced peripheral vision from drooping eyelids
  • You experience daily fatigue or discomfort due to eyelid heaviness
  • You’re in good general health and don’t smoke

Contraindications may include certain eye conditions, autoimmune disorders, or allergies to anesthesia. Dr. Mirzabeigi evaluates all medical history carefully to ensure patient safety and surgical success.

From Hooded Eyes to Heaviness

What Issues Does Upper Blepharoplasty Address?

Common Concerns Treated:

  • Hooded eyes and sagging skin on the upper or lower eyelids
  • Accumulation of excess fat deposits or puffiness
  • Impaired vision from overhanging skin
  • Dark circles or hollowing (especially in combination with lower eyelid surgery)
  • A tired or angry facial expression
  • Desire for a smoother, more defined upper eyelid contour

Consultation and Preparation

Consulting with Dr. Mirzabeigi means more than just reviewing options—it’s a tailored conversation with a qualified surgeon who genuinely listens. During your visit, he’ll examine the upper and lower eyelids, evaluate your unique anatomy, and create a surgical plan that fits your goals.

Pre-operative preparation includes:

  • Discontinuing certain medications or supplements that increase bleeding risk
  • Ceasing smoking well in advance of your surgery
  • Arranging post-operative support for your first 24 hours
  • Discussing any plans for other anti-aging treatments or cosmetic procedures

Your procedure is typically performed in a fully accredited surgery center under local anesthesia with sedation, though general anesthesia is available when combined with other procedures.

Healing, Holding, and Seeing

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

The healing process from upper eyelid surgery is smoother than many expect. Most patients report only minor discomfort, managed easily with oral medications. Bruising and swelling peak in the first 48–72 hours and improve steadily.

Key Recovery Milestones:

  • Day 1–2: Use cold compresses to minimize swelling
  • Week 1: Stitches removed, swelling begins to resolve
  • Week 2: Most patients feel comfortable returning to public or work
  • 1–3 months: Incisions fade into the natural skin fold, and final results become more refined

Your aftercare plan will include:

  • Detailed scar care instructions to avoid visible scars
  • Avoiding eye makeup, contact lenses, and vigorous activity for the first few weeks
  • Sleeping on your back with your head elevated

Upper blepharoplasty offers results that can last for 10–15 years, especially when supported by a healthy lifestyle and other anti-aging treatments like laser skin resurfacing or brow lifts.
